Magnifying Glass Eye Magnifying Glass Jewellers Slide Out Pocket Magnifier Magnifying Glass with LED Small Portable Loupe Magnifier Jewelry 30X 60X 90X Magnification with LED and UV Lights (Black)

Useful little magnifier to carry around with you - very light, and the sliding mechanism seems durable enough. I found the 60x and 90x lenses too small to use easily, but I was expecting that from the photos and I only really need the 30x so I'm happy enough with that.The LED is bright, and you can use the magnifier without it if you don't slide it all the way out. The UV is a bit weedy, but good enough to show up the security features on banknotes, driving licenses etc if you're in a dimly lit room.The weakest part, as others have mentioned, is the switch for the lights, which is fiddly to move - if you don't have fingernails you'll probably need a tool for it.Overall it's great value for money for a portable magnifier, but if you'll be needing it a lot at home you might be better off investing in something bigger and more robust.

First of all, it's worth pointing out that these lenses being 30X, 60X and 90X does *not* mean that objects will appear 30/60/90 times bigger. These are thick lenses with a very short focal distance, which must be used close to both the object and the eye. I estimate the apparent magnification to be more like 2-8 times depending on how they are used.The largest lens (which provides about 2-3x magnification) is the only useful one really. It operates at a working distance from the object of around 20mm. It is best used close to the eye (<20mm, though can be used in front of glasses), where the image is clear and undistorted away from the edges of the lens - surprisingly good optical quality in fact, although with significant chromatic aberration (which is unsurprising for something at this price). Either of the white LEDs provides plenty of illumination for the main lens.The two smaller, higher power lenses can only be used with the eye right up close to them, which is awkward because of their position (it would be better if they were on the outer edge), and their working distance is only around 4mm and 2mm respectively, which severely limits their use on something like a circuit board with varying component heights that might prevent you getting the lens close enough. Each of these lenses has a white LED close to it and pointing towards it, and because they are located right next to these lenses they can be excessively bright. Switching over to the opposite lens's LED doesn't cast much light, because they are in recessed channels which direct the light towards their own lens.Build quality is good for the price; it seems pretty robust and it's easy to slide open, requiring a little extra pull to click into place and switch the LED on.Personally I have no problems operating the recessed LED switch, but I have fairly skinny fingers.The UV LED just about works but it doesn't exactly induce a lot of fluorescence. The UV areas of a banknote, which glow vividly under my proper UV torch (Convoy S2+ with Nichia LED), barely show up under this. But I have no need for it anyway and I'm not sure what use it is.

Very useful tool I’d thoroughly recommend

Didn't had to pass to good sighted man.

Was able to see hallmarks on jewellery.

I do a lot of electronics repair work and often need to inspect solder joints or read part numbers. I bought this on the basis of some reviews and it's a winner - I've since bought two more as 'spares'. The main lens is by far the most useful and with the built-in light, it's perfect for enlarging the text or inspecting fine wiring, soldering, etc. The lens is massive really and the light is bright. The smaller lenses are less useful although do definitely work as advertised. The item looks pretty robust and solid in construction - likely to be invaluable for many years.

Some of the lenses are very small

Cheap plastic. Can’t see a thing through lenses. Not a thing. Like a Xmas cracker kids toy. Not even with 50p. Sent back immediately. Avoid!!!!

Purtroppo, nonostante includa le pile, queste non hanno mai funzionato, anche cambiandole.Peccato non poter più fare il reso

L'avoir toujours à portée de main

Tolle Multi Funktion, super Preis

Para mi gusto es un poco grande. Yo la he comprado para usarla como cuentahilos, ver las tramas en un impreso, para eso esta bastante bien.

tutto ok
