Description

This 2" x ½" Barrel Extension is a more robust version of T-thread extension tubes. It uses 48 mm threads at both ends (female and male) instead of the smaller 42 mm T-threads. Its internal light baffles are painted flat-black to avoid reflections. Use more than one to increase spacing distance and/or telecompression in 1/2" (12.7 mm) increments. This extension has a net spacing distance of 0.5" (12.7 mm).

  • Spacer for the 0.67 CCD Telecompressor (CCDT67) to achieve precise and/or additional telecompression
  • Moves the CCDT67 further into the optical path, requiring less focuser in-travel
  • Use with our 1.25" Adapter (ADA125) when using 2" filters and needing more space for long barrel eyepieces, so as to not strike the filter
  • Extends the eyepiece barrel length of 1.25"/2" eyepieces for use with 2" filters
  • Use with the Convertible Photo-Visual Barlow (BARCON) in front of the MaxBright Diagonal (PMDMAX) for increased magnification
  • Facilitates focus with short focuser-travel systems like Newtonians
  • Use with parfocal rings (obtained elsewhere) to accommodate eyepiece parfocality

Joshua ★★★★★

I was hesitant about the threading size at first, but this extension locks on perfectly to my lens without any play. The 48mm threads make a noticeable difference in stability compared to standard T-threads.

Charlotte B. ★★★★★

Finally, a barrel extension that doesn't feel flimsy—the 48 mm threads are noticeably thicker and more solid than the standard T-threads I've used before. It screwed onto my lens without any wobble, and the extra half-inch gave me just the right spacing for my filter setup.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The threads are smooth and precise, making it easy to attach to my lens without any wobble. The extra 2 inches gives me just the right spacing for critical focus with my macro setup. Solid build that feels much sturdier than the thinner tubes I've used before.
