Also, the higher the magnification number (a +2.5 is higher magnification than +2), the less depth of field you have -- the range of the sharp focus zone near to far.
I you feel the "blow-up" factor is unnecessarily large and also desire more focus range, buy a lower magnification number. I am reading that something around +2 to +2.5 would be comfortable for fly tying.
