Customer Review: Best 2X Barlow on the market!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best 2X Barlow on the market for the price. What makes it better is it uses 3 lenses instead of the normal 2. I am using with with my Meade ETX-125 with UHTC coating. I would say it would work well with any 1.25" eyepiece telescope.
Description of Orion Shorty-Plus 2x 3-Element Barlow Lens
Let's cut right to the chase. Our Shorty-Plus 2x barlow is the highest-quality, most versatile barlow you'll ever own. Here's why. It features an air-spaced, three-element apochromatic optical design of 27mm clear aperture, for superior image sharpness and color correction. And, the Shorty-Plus boasts fully multi-coated optics for even greater light transmission. It's small size-just 2-3/4" long-makes it more convenient to use than longer barlows, especially in telescopes equipped with a diagonal, such as refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains. Its anodized aluminum housing accepts 1.25" eyepieces or diagonal and has a thumbscrew lock. The Shorty-Plus doubles the magnifying power of any eyepiece, providing better eye relief and edge sharpness than you'd get using a shorter-focal-length eyepiece by itself to achieve the same power. Weighs 5 oz. Made in Japan. One-year limited warranty.Barlow Lenses
