Customer Reviews of Orion Tri-Mag 1.25" 3x Barlow Lens
Customer Review: Good Lens, Bad Practices
Summary: 1 Stars
While this Barlow lens may be of decent quality, I really cannot tell. I only assumed it maybe of decent quality because others have said so.
My copy contains so many trapped particles between the internal lenses I am surprised that any light passes through at all.
What did I get from Orion when I called for warranty support? A big goose egg. You have to pay shipping and handling and wait and see if Orion decides to do anything at all - like putting on Latex gloves and using some compressed air and a lens tissue before slapping everything together and shipping it.
I will never make the mistake of doing business with Orion ever again under any circumstances. They are crooks and their warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Description of Orion Tri-Mag 1.25" 3x Barlow Lens
For those observing targets where you need more power than your eyepieces alone can provide, we offer the Tri-Mag. It gives a big 3x magnification boost to any 1.25" eyepiece it's used with. This is desirable for lunar and planetary observing and for extracting higher powers from fast telescopes such as f/5 and f/4 refractors and reflectors. The Tri-Mag utilizes a multi-coated achromatic "negative" lens that effectively triples the focal length of the telescope's optics. The housing is precision machined from aluminum stock and black anodized to a hard finish. Both the housing and the chrome portion of the barrel are glare threaded and blackened inside to provide maximum contrast. The lens end of the barrel is threaded to accept standard filters. Length, 5". Weighs 5.8 oz. One-year limited warranty.Eyepieces
