<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2666370, member: 15199"]Unfortunately, you analyzed the situation very well. Your "G" is the reason there are so many claims of errors, doubling, etc. due to artifacts of bad lens ( many are plastic), and soft ware zooming which has the effect of reducing the resolution ( due to adding averaged false data that doesn't really exist) to the point where a blur is the norm. Most of us have owned or used a similar one. The idea of a 1X-500X zoom is not realistic. And as said, you had better specialize in dimes and cents, as the larger coins will always be a section. I use a B&L stereozoom 7 optical scope with different eyepieces ( 2.5X- 20X) and objective supplement lens of ( 0.5X) and (0.7X), which gives me a continuous range for all coins, and jewels. Costs more, but I have been using it for over 30 years, and will probably a few more and my son will continue it . As a bonus, it doesn't need software considerations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
