Can you attach this to a 2X Barlow Lens and still have good resolution/image quality?

It's ok, depends what your looking for, there is a slight loss of resolution, but I think it is worth the investment, I really like mine.

It has a pretty good image quality when using a 2x Barlow attachment. I have one. But of course higher magnification with the zoom eyepiece becomes a little distorted not too bad. For the price you won't be disappointed. I use it a lot. Hope this helps.

Depending on your barlow's quality, yes. Image quality will improve as you effectively double the focal ratio of the system, making aberrations lens noticeable. However this higher focal ratio will require 2x the exposure length if using the lens T-adapter for photography. It will also reduce true field of view, which combined with the narrow apparent field of view of this eyepiece will give you more of the "looking down a paper tube" view.

I use it on my GX7, which has a larger sensor and I think it looks great. The edges are a tad soft, but with the smaller sensor of the BMPCC you will not see the edge of this lens. This adapter converts the 14mm to 11mm. Just know that there are no filter threads on the front of the lens, so you can not attach a filter to the front.

I found this camera requires some practice in getting used to centering objects because the chip is small. You may want to have a 2x barlow handy as well. It fits in the normal 1/4" adapter. If your camera port is that size then you are golden. Good luck!

You can connect camera to this barlow. you need a 1.25" universal T adapter and the correct T ring for your SLR or DSLR. Google it both Meade and Celestron make one. http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/celestron-t-adapter-universal-1-25-in.html

This Should work fine. I know I have heard that the Barlow might not have enough travel to focus with some scopes. This can be fixed by placing the 2x Barlow directly into the focuser and then attaching the diagonal to the barlow. This small kit is a great value&lt; id say buy it. I have it and im happy with everything in it except the moon filter. The moon filter is plastic and it turns the moon green but it still works. The other filters are high quality and individually they cost $19.99. The 6mm Eyepiece is great and will be plenty powerful. to bring out planetary detail

Hi Mark. Thank you for your question. No. This converter will not work well with that lens. We have found the best choice for that lens to be the 2.2x telephoto that goes on top rather than on the bottom. Thank you. Charlie.

It's really not critical to have a Barlow lens but it's nice. When I first got my telescope, I just used the lens take came with it. Later on, I purchased a Barlow lens and some filters. With these items, I was able to see better details. Now I wish I had a bigger telescope. I guess just like any other hobby it depends on how much can you afford to spend. You might want to try to hook up with a astronomy group some night and see for yourself before you decide.

I used on a V1, and it allowed me to attach any nikon DSLR lens, and worked fine. Adds a bit of weight to the camera though

I do not have the 1.2 I do have a 50mm 1.8 and a 135mm 2.8 and I use this adapter with a T4i and the quality is amazing. The FD lenses were made really well. The only thing with a 1.2 the depth of field is so shallow you are likely going to blur out half of your subject. You may not want to shoot that lens wide open. However if you do I am sure the photos will look amazing. I hope this helps you out.

The closes to x1 I think you'll get is with a 0.3X wide field Barlow lens: http://www.amazon.com/AmScope-SM03-Widefield-Barlow-Microscopes/dp/B009VUP3R0/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1397176236&sr=1-2&keywords=amscope+barlow+lens It is not clear why you need x1, since that is zero magnification? I guess if you had a camera connected you can use the microscope as a camera holder. You can contact AmScope about possibly getting a 5X eyepiece, I'm guessing the combination of 0.3X Barlow lens and 5X eyepieces is the closes you will get to X1 without just removing the lenses altogether. I have not personally tried the 0.3X lens so I can't comment on how well the solution will work.

The Macro part of it helps give you the fish-eye effect you want. It helps provide the necessary distortion you need for it to give you the look you presumably bought this object to provide. I'm sure you can find a double male 58mm adapter out there on Amazon land- but my thought to you is do you really want to?

You could but the field of view at maximum zoom would be extremely small. Also the quality of the optics are probably not going to deliver the clarity you desire

Kenneth, I have an Orion XT6 that has a 1.25" rack and piñon focuser. The Barlow works well as well as all eyepieces and filters.

The question is not exactly what you need. The field of view of the camera will be less than the field you would see with with a 10X eyepiece and the resolution will be worse than what you would see with an eyepiece. Worst of both worlds. And the enclosed software is horrible.

The eye piece view is crisp and clear, had problems at first getting them to focus but playing with them I found that if I use my 2x Barlow lens the focus was great, so if you think this might be a problem I would suggest you take this advice when choosing your lenses. I ordered two 12mm lenses to go with the bino viewer and it cut it down to a 6mm because of the 2x Barlow.

I use it with a 6D, 70-200 2.8, matte box, 7" monitor, and Tascam recorder. No problem at all. The lens support is actually upside down in the photo. It has a piece that you can slide up and down as needed. These are actually very impressive for any price. The cam action screws are better than the high end Red Rock micro screws. Buy it, you won't regret it.

I wouldn't think the image quality would be very good. I have not tried to stack my 2x with it.
