- Bintel 2X ED Barlow
Where is the weak link in terms of quality?
The ED80, Barlow or eyepieces?
Is it pointless buying buying eyepieces of the quality of the pentax/Orion Stratus/baader hyperion? Would it be best to focus on the the WO's and LP's under $100?
My thoughts now are to upgrade the 5mm and 20mm eyepieces, giving me a range of 5, 10, 20, 40 mm.
- any thoughts on the quality or range questions is welcome.
- dannat has suggested the pentax xf as an option. From where can I pick one of those up in Melbourne or Australia.

Why do you say that it is pointless to buy a quality eyepiece?
Why not get the quality early on and upgrade your scopes to match later...you will still get more performance from them and maximise what your scopes are capable of...
