Earlier this week I ordered one of these high quality barlows for my birthday which is at the end of the month. Couldn't resist a few test photos this morning. They've come down in price lately, this one was £45 on Amazon but you can pay almost double at some outlets.
Very high quality glass with high transmission multi coatings. It's sold as 2.25X but the nose can be removed from the barlow case and then it can be screwed into an eyepiece barrel. In that set up it is reduced to 1.3X. Haven't checked what I was getting on the scope in the way that I had it mounted but it was above 2X I'd say.
Photos all with SW80ED from around 8m to 15m range and all are uncropped. On a couple of them I trimmed the sides off the photo but they are uncropped on the heights.
