Explore Scientific 1.25" 3x Focal Extender / Barlow # FE03-125
very nice, unexpected benefits!
Many Barlows make excellent fields and contrast. This is in the best rank for that, but it adds no in-travel penalty(super), no eye-relief push(meh), and no field loss for long-FL eyepieces...that effect is fantastic. some EPs actually gained field! ...

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
2” 2x Barlow lens #gs22b
Have a 30mm 2” lens. Bought a 2x Barlow lens,Agena Astro sent them in record time, they are clear as can be, but, wish I would have bought a 3x Barlow instead of 2x not much difference.

After looking for a third higher power 2" eye piece to round out my set, this Barlow became an obvious choice. The quality was more than I expected at this price.

Very Handy and better than before!
The latest I bought has a nice step and blackened ribbing at just the right place.Saves be a little internal touch-up. Contrast is excellent. The cell up front can be screwed into eyepiece filter threads to improve field edges in short scopes / simpl...

Celestron 2" 2.5x Luminos Barlow Lens # 93436
2" 2.5X BARLOW BY CELESTRON
It seems to give nice images, especially when used with a good eyepiece. I also like how short and light it is, and a good tool for astrophotography.

Good barlow
Good 2 inch Barlow which has a 1.5 inch adapter included. Seems to work fine when I tested it.

Although I already possessed an Explore Scientific 2", 2X focal extender, I needed a way to avoid having to buy expensive 2" color filters when I already had a assortment of 1-1/4" filters for planetary imaging. I hoped that this piece...

GSO 2" ED barlow
Excellent quality, optics first rate and performs like the very expensive AP barlow at a 1/4 of the price plus Agena's excellent service!

GSO 1.25" 2x "Shorty" Achromatic Barlow Lens # GS2BL
Great performance & flexibility for a little price
Based on several earlier reviews, I decided to purchase the GSO 2x shorty barlow. I was not disappointed. It's given me a nice boost in my magnification and provided crystal-clear viewing. The added benefit of unscrewing the rear barlow lens and...

GSO 1.25 in barlow
Great product for not a lot "out of pocket" money. Well made and solid. Nice feature- bottom lens in barlow can be unscrewed and screwed onto my other 1.25 eyepieces to give them a bit of increased magnification.

Meade Series 4000 #126 1.25" 2x Short-Focus Barlow Lens # 07273
good enough for the price
Plus, achromatic negative lens unscrews from the barrel like an eyepiece filter - good for using it in different optical configurations. Lock screw good. Minus - a little tight on the insertion fit for some eyepieces.

Wonderful for use with my 2" eyepieces and with my Baader Hyperio
I purchased this barlow over a year ago so I could barlow my 2" eyepieces in my 8" Dob. Works great with excellent images. Very happy with it and have recommended it to friends. You can also remove the barlow element and attach it directly...
