Powermate ISSUE RESOLVED

[pmrid]

I have a near-new 2 inch Powermate X2 that I would like to exchange for a X3 if anyone has one. TeleVue only though and prefer 2 inch but will consider 1.25.

Peter,
You may have to look at a Barlow to get x3.
The 1.25” Powermates are x2.5 and x5 the 2” version is x2 and x4.

Agree with Ken and having owned them have never seen a 3 x 2" Powermate. 3x Barlow yes (which is definitely 1.25") - https://www.bintel.com.au/product/tele-vue-3x-barlow-1-25-inch/?gclid=CjwKCAjwjdOIBhA_EiwAHz8xm7SH 0fk8eVNPaQGLjyoVDzl8REbMJOkxckw2NF_ 5-XwSrJfoWhM6GBoC_3YQAvD_BwE&v=322b26af01d5.

Peter, try the Bintel 2.5x apo barlow($59). Is it a PM? No, but are the PMs really 4-5x better? I doubt it… just an idea :)

Thanks for the helpful replies and comments. Brain was briefly disengaged there. I have a x3 Barlow and it’s OK And I guess I should just work with that.
