Product description

A Barlow lens lets you increase the focal length of your telescope and hence the magnification. The Barlow lens is placed between the telescope and the eyepiece.

How the Q-Barlow lens works - Screw the lens element into the barrel of the Barlow and you get 2.25 × the focal length. Alternatively, the lens element can be screwed directly into the filter thread of an eyepiece. This results in increasing the magnification by a factor of 1.3.

Typical Baader quality!

Review by Kimgr on 05.04.2021 18:18:56

( 4 / 5 )

In short, on the positive side: great optics quality, even better coatings, hardly any chromatic aberration (probably some minimal false color was simply atmospheric dispersion at 300X+ mag.), the modular design is a plus!
On the not so positive side I would love a compression ring (but I guess its too much asking at this price point) and also there is some vignetting and loss of fieldstop clarity. Would I buy it again? for being a reasonably priced, modular, with great coatings and performance with short focal length barlow definitely yes!
Honestly, its 4.5/5 only because of the vignetting.
