Brandon 1.25" Magic Dakin Barlow w/ Brandon Thread - 1.25x MDB125xBrandon
The Brandon Magic Dakin Barlow (MDB) is available in four versions - with Brandon-proprietary or standard 1.25" threads on the male thread end (where it would connect with other eyepieces or adapters), and with 1.25x or 1.5x magnification factors. This listing is for the 1.25x barlow with Brandon male threads. This small Barlow is amazing. It is a true Dakin Barlow in a small package, made with a superb lens, manufactured in the USA. This MDB has Vernonscope Brandon threads. Owners of Brandon and Questar eyepieces use this MDB directly on the eyepieces with no adapter. To screw it onto the nosethread of a binoviewer or the standard thread of non-Vernonscope eyepieces, you will require a thread conversion adapter (# 114ADAPTVERN, sold separately). The goal is to improve the usability of all binoviewers and eyepieces in addition to providing magnification. Screwed onto the nosepiece of a binoviewer, it gives a bit more back focus (focuser in-travel). On an eyepiece, it gives a little more eye relief. It also increases the f number of the telescope, making all eyepieces work just a bit better. An f/6 scope with a 1.25x MDB will become an f/7.5. Because of its small size, and the way it screws onto the filter thread of the eyepiece, it fits into 1.25" eye tubes and adapters. Even though it is small, do check when using with a diagonal to make sure you have clearance from the bottom of the MDB to the mirror surface. This barlow provides a nominal magnification factor of 1.25x which is an estimate of the magnification achieved when screwed onto the bottom of eyepieces. When used on binoviewers, the magnification will be higher because of the longer optical path. For the Vernonscope binoviewer, with an optical path of 80mm, the 1.25x MDB will provide approximately 2.9x magnification. Please note that the bottom end of this barlow features a female Brandon-proprietary thread. It will accept Brandon filters directly. To use standard 1.25" filters on the bottom of this barlow instead, you will need to first attach Brandon's # 114ADAPTBRNDN adapter (sold separately). Specifications:

Tracking/Delivery Confirmation:eBay will update you once your order ships. You can see the order status or tracking information/link from your eBay account at any time. C. USPS Tracking Limitations: Please note that is common for USPS tracking to show “Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item” or “Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending” even several days after your order ships. This does not mean that there is a problem with your order or that we have not handed over your package to USPS yet. This simply means that your package is en route without an outbound scan and tracking will not be updated until the package reaches a distribution center at your end several days later. A. Shipping Cost: Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost.

UPS (All Shipping Methods):
2. USPS First Class International:
3. USPS Priority Mail International: Delivery takes about 2 weeks to most countries after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping. Packages are not considered lost unless 60 days have elapsed from the date of shipment. 4. USPS Express Mail International: Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package. Packages are not considered lost unless 30 days have elapsed from the date of shipment. Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated. C. Brokerage Fees, Customs and Duties:
A. US Orders: Returns must be shipped back within 30 days. All returned items must be in brand new, resalable condition with original manufacturer’s packaging. A minimum restocking fee of 10% will be deducted if there is any evidence of use or wear, dirt, scratches, missing packaging/parts, etc. We may levy a larger restocking fee if the condition warrants it, or even refuse returns entirely if returned in heavily used/abused condition. Shipping fees are non-refundable (for items with free or discounted fixed shipping, the actual outbound S&H cost we incurred will be deducted) and you are responsible for all return shipping costs. Please contact us first before returning an item. B. International Orders: No returns/exchanges accepted unless the item we shipped is defective. Please research the product and ask us any questions BEFORE you purchase to make sure you are buying the correct item for your needs.
