Something is fishy here

I read several reviews on this product that questioned the actual magnifying power of this Barlow lens but decided it wasn't a lot of money and only for that case it really is. Quality 5x lens for $$ I had nothing to lose. Well I can back up some claims with other reviews: 1. It can't be a 5x increase. 5x would mean more than doubling a 2x lens and this lens doesn't come close to doubling the magnification of the 2x lens I already had prior to purchasing this lens.

The Barlow lens has to be perfect to maximize the potential , but no more. In reality, even a 3x Barlow lens was prohibitively expensive (considering the price of the telescope itself) with its prohibitive price.Using Amazon's powerful sort by price (low to high) I'm onto this one Objectively bumped the price is good and the seller's…
