Hey all...

What is your opinions on the TeleVue Powermate 5x with adapter for DSLR? Have anyone used one of these? I'm looking for a way to barlow a DSLR and this seems to fit the bill.

Gee...5x is a bunch of magnification.

I have used a 2x barlow with the Powershot S3 and find it's just does the job. Anymore makes the FOV dim and soft. Granted, it was not with a top-shelf Televue, so your results may be superior.

In any case, it's a nice accessory to have in your case regardless.

Joe is your barlow treaded?

It seems like overkill to me. Your field of view is going to be like looking through a coffee stirrer.

Let's see what Bill has to say about it.
