They are all good. They make them in different magnifications and focal length because people have different needs. I am over 60, myopic (I see close fine) and prefer to work aobut 8-10 inches from my nose. I use an LX4 or LX5 that focuses at 8-10 inches and magnifies 2x or 2.5x. If I have the correct side light, that works for my old eyes. If I use more magnification or a shorter focal length, it makes me feel like my eyes cross and fatigue. When I was younger, I used one that focused at 14 inches with lower power. If I were doing fine engraving, I might want to add a Loupe or try one with higher power or shorter focal length. They are made by Donegan Optical, I think they have a web site with info.

I used to use this.



Now I use this.

I am VERY myopic and use the highest power Optivisor lens, sometimes along with an additional loupe. The medium power lenses are also good, probably are better for someone with normal vision.

Thanks Guys, I ordered a NO: 5.

Anyone use the light Brownells shows that attaches to the side of the Optivisor?

Westpac,

That is an impressive set up! I looked through something like that at the Guild's show in 2007.

Many Thanks

With the right eye pieces, you would be surprised by the amount of work area you have under a stereo microscope. The zoom feature is perfect for those quick close up's when looking for cracks and flaws. Of course at it's lowest power, the smoothest surfaces look flawed.

Wow!!! Very Nice. Does that come with an auto darken feature for that dedicated table it is on???
