Bob, Do not scrimp on this particular item. Yes, there are less expensive alternatives than Optivisor, but some have plastic lenses that are not totally clear - buy quality, your eyes will appreciate it.
I have one that has a working length of about 10 inches (OK for soldering without burning your nose), but a flip-up lens that brings that working length down to the 4 inch region for examination. There is also a flip-down loupe that focuses at about 2 inches for even more magnification. The combination is quite useful. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/17/2012 8:54 PM, Robert Duckworth wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm looking for recommendations for one of those binocular, head mounted, > magnifiers to improve my SMT work.
