These two lenses have opposite but equally useful effects. The working distance (how far away you need a subject to be to focus on it) of the base scope with the default 0.5X lens is around 9"/230mm.

If you need to be farther away like with the hummingbirds, the 0.3X focuses at 12.5"/320mm.

On the other hand, if you're checking out something very small (and pretty still), the 0.2X quadruples the base magnification but has to be about 2"/50mm away.

All of these were measured from the end of the lens in question.

These Barlow lenses are easy to unscrew and swap on the scope, and have the added benefit of protecting the internal optics.
