Title: loupes - information please
Post by: tom q vaxy on 16 December 2021, 09:21:21 AM

surgical or dental; whatever they are called - i did a search and came up null.

i want something better than optivisor of tamiya.

any recommendation?

about "3x" would be good; currents (above) are 2.5x so i might like to go a little stronger.

thanks

For hobby use loupes tend to be single lenses (I have one attached to my optivisor for when I need more detail). The medical grade ones may well require a second mortgage on your part :(

Optivisors come with different magnifications, and there are other hobby magnifiers out there that come with multiple lenses, eg this one on amazon (https://amazon.co.uk/EEEKit-Magnifier-Handsfree-Magnifying-Professional/dp/B08DTC152L/ref=sr_1_21)

What is wrong with your Optivisor? Is it just magnification, or something more?
