........looking for collectors with dino-lite scopes and their pros and cons and models that they would recommend. anyone have the 311? i'm THINKING about getting one but i'm all ears, and eyeballs at this point. let the recommendations fly! and thanks for your comments and advice. steve
My only reply is to save your money or use it to purchase coins. Of course I'm not a photo coin person or a magnify a coin to see every nick and scratch at 1,000 power. I just collect coins. After over 60 years of collecting I still have no urge to magnify or photograph a coin. Just me of course.
Sorry, but I have a digital blue microscope that I just love. It makes it so easy to pop a coin under it and check at 60x. I don't use 10x and 200x much, but they do work and have uses. Don't know much about dino-lite's.
Hi, i don't have a scope as of yet. But i did purchase a lighted table mounted magnifier. It has a 52 inch spring balanced arm with a fluorescent lighted 3 diopter magnifier lens. It sure works great when searching coin rolls, really a lot less fatigue than using a hand held(plus excellent lighting). It's like the ones that you see at coin shows mounted to the tables. Only i think this is much nicer than the ones i've used at shows. The brand name is Tensor(Model 17357-000), & i purchased it at Staples(around $50.00 i think). It's not a scope, but it's sure a great aid to any collector. Any collector that has a table for collecting needs one of these mounted on it. Some other features is a light mounted rocker switch, plus it has multiple outlets at the base of the arm.
