I received the Meade 3x Short Focus Barlow 1.25 inch Mount much faster than I expected since the item was back ordered. ( I'm sure the covid-19 situation has a lot to do with many distributors waiting for the affected factories to catch-up with demand.) Adorama has a great price on this item and so I placed my order. The 3x "shorty" Barlow is a great compliment to my 102 mm, 660 mm focal length refractor telescope. I used the 3x Barlow with a Celestron 8 to 24 mm zoom eyepiece. The images of Jupiter and Saturn were excellent. I found that around the 9 to 10 mm settings on the zoom eyepiece seemed to hit the sweet spot for the maximum magnification on my scope. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with the crisp and clear views. The Meade 3x Barlow's small size, in my opinion, is also a plus because it lessens the stress on my diagonal when I'm using the weighty zoom lens. I have no complaints so far with this Barlow and would recommend it especially for faster telescopes.

Good quality and performs well.  It made my telescope work even better.  I recommend this product.

Excellent Product

This works as is supposed to.  Just don't use an overpowered eyepiece with it or you'll end up with image blur.

Works well

Nice piece also nice to have with a collection of eyepieces works well even at high magnification

Used this on my 76mm reflector telescope. Worked
great, except with 4mm eye piece.  wasn't able 
focus on moon.

Nice lens

It is necessary a best protection It need cap in the two sides of the tube.

very good optic bad protection

Great addition to my tools.  Very good image quality with the magnification!

Great for Planetary work

[...] The difference is amazing. The image is truly three times normal size and the quality of that image remains excellent. Lots of bang for the buck.

lots of bang for the buck

I do not see any difference

Works extreamly well w/Celestron Nexstar 130slt because the FL=650mm is very low. Works great w/25mm &9.7mm on Planet's.
