<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 4418656, member: 15199&quot;]I really think you should consider a &quot;dissecting scope&quot; type of magnifier because most people with a 30X or 40X magnifier will have a lot of spherical distortion even in a triplet lens due to the limit in most lens aperture at that magnification, If you are looking for certain markers or even doubling, this could cause problems in IDing them. I go through a new magnifier every couple of years, but one of my scopes is over 30 years as I can&#039;t loose it, no one wants to borrow it and walks away, or a lens shifts because I dropped it! And it is almost impossible to take a&nbsp; *sharp* photo through a magnifier, which we usually see several times a day. Think about it. IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
