SOLOMARK QHFT045 fifteen-piece set review

A fifteen-piece 1.25 in accessory case with five multi-coated Plössls, five colour filters, a Moon filter, a polarising filter and two Barlow lenses, one carrying a T2 thread.

The bottom line The efficient way to equip a first telescope, with a T2 thread named properly and six filters described by colour alone.

Five focal lengths at once

Six, eight, twelve and a half, twenty and forty millimetres. On any telescope those five cover the range from finding to planetary detail, and buying them together costs less than assembling them one at a time. All are multi-coated Plössls in 1.25 in barrels.

The 40 mm and the barrel

A 40 mm eyepiece in a 1.25 in barrel is limited by the field stop the barrel can pass: the true field stops widening even though the magnification keeps falling. The listing does not mention it, and it is the reason 2 in barrels exist.

The filters, described by colour

Five colours plus a polariser and a Moon filter. None carries a transmission figure or a passband, which is the norm on this shelf and the reason this site keeps saying so. The polariser — which is variable in some sets and not described as such here — and the Moon filter are the two most owners keep using.

The T2 thread, named properly

M42 × 0.75. That is the thread, written as a thread, and it means a T-ring and a camera body attach without guesswork. Very few listings at this price are that precise.

Availability

German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores sat at about 89 € on the day of the survey.

British Amazon store lists it in local currency, which the euro range above sets aside.

American Amazon store gave no result whatever, so the buy button there opens a search rather than an empty page.

What it publishes, and what it withholds

Strengths

  • Five focal lengths in one purchase covers a whole telescope’s useful range
  • The T2 thread is named precisely as M42 × 0.75 rather than described
  • The case has deliberate spare room, which is how a collection actually grows

Compromises

  • The 40 mm Plössl in a 1.25 in barrel is limited by the field stop, which the listing does not mention
  • No transmission figures for any of the six filters
  • A five-colour set includes filters most owners will never fit twice

What observers ask about this one

Are colour filters worth having?

A few are. Their effect depends heavily on aperture: on a small telescope a deep colour filter removes more light than the extra contrast is worth. The polarising and Moon filters in this set will see far more use than the five colours.

What does the T2 thread on the Barlow allow?

A T-ring for a specific camera screws onto it, and the camera then sits at prime focus with the Barlow amplifying the image. M42 × 0.75 is the standard thread, and naming it is what makes the chain predictable.
