there, I've been wearing Optivisors for 30 years now, ever since I
handled
my first SMDs. As a single fellow on the prowl I always wanted to
look good.
One day

with this ridiculous looking contraption sticking up on my head.
Sigh!

Hi Tom (and Everyone):
I use an Optivisor. I bought it during my KX1 build. It made a
tremendous difference! You might want to get the magnifying
attachment too. I got mine in the jewelery district. It seems
to me Harbor Freight may have something like this on their
website, if not the exact bra

I'm sure distortion was a bad choice of words; it was not a cheap knock-off.
Field of view was far too short with the 4x for me. The 3x has proven to be
perfectly usable for me, with a much better field of view. The fact that I'm
accustomed to progressives with a high power *may* be a factor

There are extra lenses available and I suggest you
buy several different powers. Then, you'll be able
to choose to fit the need. They change easily with

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 o

Here is a link to a site that has the Optivisor as cheap as I have
seen it...less than 28 bucks. They also have the Opti-loop accessory which I
have on my visor and like it very much for that really close up stuff.
