The Baader Barlow lenses at a glance
With currently five different barlow lenses in Baader Planetarium's product range, it is not easy to keep track of which model fulfils which function best.
FFC – Fluorite Flatfield Converter (3x-8x Barlow Lens)
(#2458200 ,
€
730,-
)
|
90mm field of view also for medium format cameras - uncompromising quality even for extreme enlargements. Focus gain: depending on configuration about 1.5-2.6cm |
Barlow Lens Carl Zeiss Abbe 1¼" (2x)
(#1603321 ,
€
477,-
)
|
Legendary Zeiss quality for the common magnification range between 2x and 3x (with additional T-2 extensions). With T-2 connection for cameras or eyepiece clamps. The qualitatively equivalent solution to the Fluorite FFC when smaller field size and smaller post-magnification are desired. Focus gain: About 3 cm |
Barlow Lens VIP, modular , visual and photographic (2x)
(#2406101 ,
€
228,-
)
|
Versatile barlow lens for magnifications from 2x, for use with cameras (via T-2 thread) and eyepieces. Calculated for 35mm image diagonal (full format). With additional T-2 extensions it can also be used for slightly higher magnification factors. Focus gain at 2x: Approx. 3.3 cm |
Barlow Lens Q-Barlow (1.3x / 2.25x)
(#2956185 ,
€
55,-
)
|
Inexpensive and amazingly high quality Barlow lens for the lower magnification range: In addition to being used as a normal Barlow lens with eyepiece clamp (with factor 2.25x), the Barlow element can also be used as a negative lens group when screwed directly into (almost) all eyepiece sleeves or directly in front of a camera with 1.25" filter thread and then provides a lower magnification of approximately 1.3x. Ideal for adapting a modern planetary camera to the resolution of an already long focal length telescope. Prerequisite: There must be no other elements in the nose piece that would prevent the approximeately 13 mm long Q-Barlow lens group from being screwed in. Focus gain at 2.25x: About 0.4 cm |
Barlow Lens Hyperion® Zoom (2.25x )
(#2956180 ,
€
133,-
)
|
Specially designed for the Hyperion Zoom eyepiece, also fits the filter thread of other eyepieces.
With the included T-2 adapter, it can also be used directly on cameras; provides about 2.7x at 55mm working distance and about 2.3x at 25mm. Focus gain: About 1.1 cm |
