This stunning photovisual Barlow system delivers a high contrast, high resulution 3x magnification with any eyepiece or camera! This is easily the cleverest design Barlow lens we've ever seen!

Unique British design

The design is British with all the metalwork made in England, and the optics are made in Japan - and clearly that's a great combination.

This is a great-quality 3x Barlow at any price, but at under £80 the beautiful and yet ultra-functional design makes the Astro Engineering Supreme optical amplifier range one of the world's best quality Barlow systems.

The James Bond of 3x Barlows! Good looks, sharp performance - and a killer secret under its hat !

The smart looks of the Supreme Barlow hide a cunning secret. The twist-lock eyepiece holder is a joy to use - it holds the eyepiece rigidly with the lightest twist of the coloured lock ring. A nylon collet actually grabs the eyepiece barrel, centering it perfectly (not tilting the eyepiece or pushing it to one side as the usual cross screws will), ensuring that your precious eyepieces will not be marked no matter how tightly you lock it in.

Then simply unscrew the coloured lock ring to reveal a standard T thread! Any standard T2 mounting ring can now be added to this thread to allow the Supreme Barlow to be used with any digital or film SLR camera. (click on middle picture for more T mount detail)

It's a beautifully simple design that is ultra-functional both visually, used with your existing 1.25" eyepieces, and astro-photographically! The fact that the AE Supreme Barlow performs in either of these modes better than any other competitor product would be exceptional. But that it out performs other Barlows visually and photographically is simply stunning. A big hooray for British design again!

Ideally suited to the job of getting larger image scale when using small chip CCD cameras. The reports we have heard about this Barlow are outstanding. The lens works brilliantly with eyepieces and cameras as well - and is the ideal accessory for use with the wide range of short-focus refractors currently available.

The fully multi-coated achromatic optics provide excellent high-resolution and high-contrast images. The nose-piece is chrome-plated brass with a full 27mm clear aperture. The eyepiece holder is machined-turned from solid aluminium and finished in black and coloured anodising. Even the dust cap is solid aluminium with coloured anodising.

Supplied in an anti-shock foam-filled bolt bottle storage case.
