If you saw distortion, you had some defective lenses or a cheap knock-off "Optivisor". True Optivisors have very high quality lenses.
I susptect that's why they are significantly more expensive than the other binocular-type magnifiers. I use 4's with no distortion at all.

I went to a local retailer so I could try them all. I wound up with a DA-3 and an Optiloupe. It's a fantastic combination for me. I know a lot of guys go with a 4x, but to me it caused a lot of distortion. Remember that you can buy the optical plates separately so that if you need a couple of different powers it's not a big deal. -- 73, de Mike, KC0KBC -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: TMorton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Looking to buy an Optivisor over the internet but not sure what power > to > get...I usually wear 1.50 or 1.75 cheaters to read...any suggestions > for what to get to be able to solder those itty, bitty Elecraft parts? > 73 > Tom > CX7TT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
