I wasnt quite sure where to post this, please feel free to move it.. anyhows, took a punt on this when it popped up on e-bay. It only cost a fiver delivery so I didnt expect to be blown away by it.

I managed to use it for the first time last night in my 150 PL and my fears were confirmed. truly terrible..It made Vega look like a drop of oil in a puddle of hot chocolate. ..Pretty colours though...

I got one of those as well but havn't used it yet, looks like its destined for the bin then.

Hi martin.. when you do get a chance to use it I would be interested in how you found it...

Thanks very much for posting. I spotted one of those on ebay a few weeks back and couldn't decide whether to give it a go. I think I'll pass now!

Ha, ha, i've got a kson 2x. I call it my disco barlow because of the lovely soft focus and bright colours

Ahh well, can always take the optics out and use the body for a spacer LOL
