Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa!!
I responded, earlier, on a topic which compared different types of Barlow lenses, and I said " what's the big deal with the TV Powermates... they're just expensive Barlows"
How WRONG can I be,
I apologise to anyone who believed I knew what I was talking about..... I got it completely wrong......sorry!!!
What made me correct my opinion???
I've just "invested" in a x4 and a x2.5 Powermate ( with the T thread adaptors) and they are ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Crisp, great contrast, flat field, clear, just oooozing quality of finish and do the job 200% percent!! What more could you ask for??
I really anticipate these new toys will help me to dramatically improve my imaging. The backfocus v's amplification is very interesting and nothing like the traditional Barlow. Well worth the money!!!!!
