Product Description
Let's cut right to the chase. Our Shorty-Plus 2x barlow is the highest-quality, most versatile barlow you'll ever own. Here's why. It features an air-spaced, three-element apochromatic optical design of 27mm clear aperture, for superior image sharpness and color correction. And, the Shorty-Plus boasts fully multi-coated optics for even greater light transmission. It's small size- just 2-3/4" long- makes it more convenient to use than longer barlows, especially in telescopes equipped with a diagonal, such as refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains. Its anodized aluminum housing accepts 1.25" eyepieces or diagonal and has a thumbscrew lock. The Shorty-Plus doubles the magnifying power of any eyepiece, providing better eye relief and edge sharpness than you'd get using a shorter-focal-length eyepiece by itself to achieve the same power. Weighs 5 oz. Made in Japan. One-year limited warranty.

Gets the job done 2007-01-05
As with other Orion products the Shorty Plus 2x 3-Element Barlow is a quality item. As to whether it is worth the extra money for the 3-Element over the regular barlow, save yourself the cash and get the regular 2x Barlow. I would recommend a "shorty" barlow for most scopes as longer 2+x barlows can be difficult to focus.
Best 2X Barlow on the market!!! 2004-02-10
This is the best 2X Barlow on the market for the price. What makes it better is it uses 3 lenses instead of the normal 2. I am using with with my Meade ETX-125 with UHTC coating. I would say it would work well with any 1.25" eyepiece telescope.
