Why not use a small LED flashlight?

 

The reason I need it is for going to shows and poorly lit dealer tables, I don't want to have to carry a flashlight. I may try to find one at the Balltimore show this coming Friday. I'd like to find a good one for a change.

Thanks!

 

I picked one of these up from DX a few weeks ago and it's awesome! Definately not 15x as advertised, more like 5x, but it's Chinese. It takes about 3 weeks to get stuff from them because they are in China but this magnifier is definately worth the wait.

That's exactly why I bought this one! Some dealers have no lights at their tables.

 

MMMMM Young Merlin, one should look at old coins through old glass. Perhaps a vintage Baush & Lombe loupe from say 1905 would increase your vision.

 

I'll check it out,
Thanks Thad!
