ES 2x focal extender

[mashedpotatomountain]

hi guys,

i'm looking to buy the 2x focal extender to compliment my ES 82º eyepieces (bought from ES germany) but only the US ES site seems to stock them?

have been digging around but can't find anywhere in europe that sells them - does anybody out there know if it's possible to get them in europe?

if not i guess i'll have to pay the import charges, c'est la vie...but i wonder why ES germany sell the EPs but not the focal extenders?

cheers

These people do the 1.25" one:

I think they do the 2" 2x one as well.

I don't know how their prices would compare to importing from the US though.

I only found them on US sites but the 2" even with import duty only cost about £130 but mine was part of a larger order so postage was shared between the bits,obviously it would be more for one single item.

Telescope House sell the Bresser versions. Identical in all but name apparently.
