Comments about GSO GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens:

This is by far the best barlow at any price!
Clear to the edges at low and high magnifications,if you have a 2 inch focuser you should have this barlow in your set.
I love it !

Comments about GSO GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens:

The usefulness of this lens is greatly increased by the way it is designed to come apart. It can easily be adapted to your personal needs, if you need the lens only to screw into another adapter or what have you that's easy. The tube gives you a little more focal length when you need it and the 2 inch lens adapter works just as expected. A good purchase that increased the usefulness of my other equipment.
It is well made and works right.

Comments about GSO GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens:

I've used this to barlow my 22T4 Nagler, using it both as a 2X (11mm) and, by screwing in the lens to the Nagler, as a 1.5X (14.6mm). Both combinations have been outstanding with wonderful sharp views. I also plan to use it with a 35 Panoptic. I would suggest that, if using it in the 1.5X mode, you screw in the lens BEFORE going out under the night sky as you wouldn't want to drop the ep or the lens out there. This is a highly constructed barlow that can be used for 2 additional magnifications and it's at a great price. You can't go wrong.

Comments about GSO GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens:

I am very happy with this Barlow. Its built like a tank! The fact that the lens unscrews and you can screw it into an eyepiece for 1.5X makes it that much more versatile. It comes with a 1.25 to 2inch adapter too! Everything is a nice snug fit, no play or slop in the focuser or with an EP inserted at all. Highly recommended.
