Last night, while attempting to assemble some workable Modelkasten tracks, I suddenly came to realize how incredibly helpful it would have been if I had some sort of magnifying glasses so I actually could see what I was doing.
So ... I went over to Squadron's website to browse through their selection of hobby tools when I saw that they had this nifty little thing called "The Optivisor" which comes in the following variants:
#3 Optivisor (Magnifies 1 3/4 times, 14" focal length.) #4 Optivisor (Magnifies 2 times, 10" focal length.) #5 Optivisor (Magnifies 2.5 times, 8" focal length.) #7 Optivisor (Magnifies 2.75 times, 6" focal length.)
They also happen to have a lightweight model called "The Optivisor Acrylic" which, if I understand correctly, uses lenses made out of plastic as opposed to the normal glass lenses used on the regular version.
Is there anyone out there who has tried "The Optivisor" and can give me their opinions on it? Which one would you recommend?
TIA
