Can you use 1.25" ep with 2" barlow

I have a great 2" wide view ep and a few great 1.25 eps I want a decent Barlow but don't want to buy a 2" and another. Can you use 1.25 eps in 2" barlows?

Yes,
all the 2" barlows/ powermates I've seen come with a 2" to 1.25" adaptor.

That may have been true with Telvue powermates of 2-3 years ago. , but sadly the 1 1/4 to 2 inch adaptor is now an optional extra with them now costing more dollars on top of an already expensive item , but a very good item I must say.

I know they used to do so , but when I got my 2 inch PM a year or 2 back from Bintel , they tried to say the adaptor was an optional extra that would cost more , I kicked up a bit of a stink and they finially gave one to me free of charge .
Perhaps they had so much bad feed back they decided to give these free with the PM like they used to do , anyone shed some light on this ? also , was it Telvue or Bintel ? doing this ?.

Bintel have come back to me....
""That is correct.

TV don't put the 1.25" adapter with any of their accessories.""

Hmm definitely looks like an extra cost!

Don from Bintel has just come back to me....

My error. The 2" Powermate models (2x and 4x) come with the 1.25" adapter. The 2" diagonals don't come with the adapter.

My mistake.

That sounds better!
