I found a dealer on Amazon.com (Fargo Enterprises, Inc.) and bought a 2x Optivison for $29.16 postpaid.

I settled for a cheap-o head magnifier sometime back when I had some sudden need. It was OK, but I still wanted better. I just did some searches for the Donegan Optical Optivisor (mentioned in the recent threads) and found their web site has a dealer locator. It did miss some local sources I had found elsewhere in searches (such as a jewelry working supplier quite conveniently near my office.. I hope to get there in a few days and check them out re. the various magnifier levels.. I think you can get interchangable lenses). This was suggestec by a school of arts advisory for their incoming jewelry arts summer students. Once source was a supplier for .... eradication of head lice... So you never know where! Also, model train kit/building suppliers... I found one on the US/Canada border that serves Canada and USA from B.C. and Washington state. Your info for what you like. Prices varied greatly... one go-to place for tools I found was about 30 dollars more than the average I have seen. I will be getting one for some SMD work and general work. Now that I have a Wal-Mart griddle and embossing tool for 'frying' and heating up SMD boards/components and some solder paste on the way along with a small Hendricks kit to try out the SMD working process!
