GSO 1.25" 2x "Shorty" Achromatic Barlow Lens # GS2BL
Well Crafted
The GSO 2x Barlow lens is machined very nicely, gives off a high quality appearance, and light in weight.

Great solution!
I have a C14 and use a small pixel planetary camera. This little Barlow gave me the perfect arcsecond/pixel ratio!

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Nice Quality Barlow
I bought this for my 8" dob and my refractors. First, the quality is excellent. Fit and finish are superb. I like being able to remove the element and install it directly on the EP which gives 1.5X. This barlow is a bit heavy for my refractors s...

Celestron 1.25" 2x Omni Barlow Lens # 93326
Inexpense, but worth it
Purchased this to allow imaging camera to focus in the Coronado PST. Allows focus with above but only images 1/3 of solar disk. Barlow is good image quality and lens cell can be removed and placed directly on camera or other optical device. Jupiter v...

Antares 1.25" 2x Barlow Lens with Twist-Lock Adapter and T-Thread # UB2STL
Very Nice at this Price!
The 1st thing I liked was the self-centering twist lock feature instead of thumb screws that can move an eyepiece off axis. It's made in Canada and has fully multi-coated glass, and internal darkening and blackened lens edges to increase contras...

GSO 1.25" 3x ED Barlow Lens
Solid performer at good price
Bought to use with my zwo planetary camera. Has worked great and feels solidly constructed. There looks to be some slight color fringing at edges but at this price you can't go wrong. Definitely recommend. Also Agena in general is an awesome pla...

Celestron 1.25" 2x Omni Barlow Lens # 93326
Good Barlow
The moderately-priced Celestron eyepieces continue to impress me. This Barlow lens is well constructed, lightweight, and yields clear images. I would have preferred two holding screws, but one is sufficient (as long as I don't lose it). Lens its...

Celestron 2" 2.5x Luminos Barlow Lens # 93436
Celestron Luminos Barlow
This is an excellent Barlow--sharp, relatively light for its size (2") and solidly made. It does a great job of multiplying the power of a 26mm ES eyepiece without decreasing the 60 degree field of view. It may have increased the eye relief a li...

Great Barlow lens. Wonderful fit and function plus the ability to unscrew the lower element and attach to 2" eyepieces for magnification.

Tele Vue 2" 2x Powermate with 1.25" Adapter # PMT-2200
Very sturdy
Bought the TV 2x Powermate to make my 2" EP's more versatile. It's massive, but does the job beautifully. No noticeable image degradation. Very good.

Good Barlow
I have compared this barlow with a 2.5X powermate and it compares very favorably. The powermate performs a little better but not enough to warrant the extra cost. I use it with my mak to get good planetary views with my plossl eyepieces.

GSO 1.25" 2x "Shorty" Achromatic Barlow Lens # GS2BL
A barlow better than i expected!
It's a quality product which has a high price-performance ratio. The lens which has removable feature is an advantage. I used it with various eyepieces and I got a good result. Its the only fault is that its box is cheap. Location: Turkey...

Tele Vue 1.25" 2x Barlow # BLW-2125
Worth it
I was on the fence about buying this, not sure if the views would be worth the price but the contrast and clarity are miles above my other barlow

Never much a fan of Barlows, I've recently become enamored of the KK Fujiyama HD-OR line of ep's and wanted to preserve the eye relief of the 12.5mm and 9mm ep's and maximize the magnification so I picked up this 2x TV Barlow. Well it ...
