<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2536821, member: 19165"]The lens that you use is a highly personal choice. For example, I personally really do not like lighted magnifiers, and I strongly dislike the 3x-6x-9x select a lens models (they have 3 lenses, and you can combine them to increase the strength). The model you decide on will depend on your eyes, how it feels in your hand, and what you are trying to do with it. Much good advice has already been given in this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good brands are Bausch&Lomb, Eschenbach, Harris, and Zweiss. You can find a wide selection at Wizard, which is where I buy my coin supplies: <a href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/coin-magnifiers/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/coin-magnifiers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/coin-magnifiers/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you have the ability to go to a decent sized coin show, the coin supply sellers will have a display of magnifiers.
