Starman 1967 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I'm looking to get a 2x Barlow lens 2" or 1.25". can any body recommend a good one for a reasonable price? Around £50 mark Edited April 7, 2016 by Starman 1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If you can find one get a TAL barlow, they are very good but quite rare now because of their popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 +1 for the TAL. Expect to pay around the £30 - £35 mark. If you are after a decent budget 2" Barlow, keep an eye out for a SkyWatcher ED one, these can be picked up for around the same sort of price range. I have one of these and it performs well.

I think the Revelation 2" ED barlow is identical to the Skywatcher. I'm sure there are several others with the name 2" ED and other suppliers names that are all the same. I used to have the Revelation and it performed great for a cheap price. They all come with a 2" to 1.25" reducer. BAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) recommend the above, Revelation make some excellent stuff for a lot less than so called other makes that simply add there sticker to them and double the price, i have one and it very adaptable being 1.25" and 2" compatible, for the money it`s a bargain, i also like the Orion shorty plus, exactly the same as the celestron ultima but angin half the price although this is only 1.25".
