Well, I like to take pics of the moon
, and I find it easier with just 1 EP (when I am taking pics in afocal mode, which means with just the camera in front of the EP). The image quality is also better because my 6mm EP is for planetary viewing.
If you buy a Barlow you could also use it with the 25mm EP of course, which would then be like 12.5mm, as well as with future EPs.
Maybe others can tell you what they think too... I first bought the Barlow and then the 6mm EP, but not because I was totally unhappy with the Barlow. I am obsessed with the moon
and wanted to get as close to it as possible in the best possible way and take pics of it, as I said, but the Barlow was OK too. Well, at least not bad for quick magnification. I just felt I needed more.
