Well nothing

I just stated that the Barlow does not come with a 1.25" adaptor. I brought one because I wanted to! and used it as a cap as well. I now have two 1.25" adaptors and happy about it.
I looked through a gs barlow and a gs 9mm once at our Vic meet some months ago. Out of 10 I give it a 2. Compared to my barlow and 8.8 UWA.
The GS combo not even in the ball park.
What type of gs 9 mm it was I don't know. Other issues re mount movement was a problem also. I have read many reviews on the GS barlow and all sound good. Mark is happy with his

Again Mark uses high end EP's also.
That makes a diffrence also. I see the Barlow not the problem but the EP's.
Most people don't bother Barlowing 2" EP's so if you don't need a 2" Barlow there are a lot more 1.25" Barlow out there.
