Another source of information is your dentist. Mine gave me some references for purchasing glasses and/or clipons that had a longer working distance than the 8" typical of the Optivisors. (Seems folks don't like the dentist 8" from their face during exams.....)

The binocular vision and freedom from having to put a big glass in between you and the work is wonderful. http://www.conservationresources.com/Main/section_19/section19_02.htm http://tinyurl.com/d5gwe Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- If you have binocular vision (both eyes work together and almost equal corrected vision) I think you'll find an Optivisor to be superior to the Mag Lamps. It is a headband with lenses that can be lowered over your current eyeglasses. If you get about an 8" working distance,you can solder and see the smallest of solder "bridges". Its also fairly comfortable. Just google optivisor, they have some off brand copies for about $20. 73 Larry WA2DGD > > > I have learned that the "helping hands" I got from Radio Shack do not > provide nearly > enough Magnification nor any illumination of the PCBs and components for _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
