Higher numbers, higher magnification
CHOSE the lower numbers - I ordered the model 10 not realizing that means 10X magnification - I couldn't find anything in the description to this effect. Anyway, I sort of assumed 10 meant 10x. And 10x is WAY too strong to use if you already wear glasses. The images were not coordinate, one lens to the other, so it literally made me sick to try to look through them. I ordered the 2x lens and that works very well with the flip-in lens doubler. I also got the LEDs. VERY dissappointed with the quality of the unit. Cheap plastic, plastic regainers for the lenses, and the LEDs are so weak as to be nearly ineffective. I bought an cheapo knockoff for $15.00 at Amazon and it is about as good. The only thing quality are the lenses themselves, which are glass. Everything else is cheaply made. Oh, and the headband at maximum opening just barely fits my head and I wear a 7 1/4" hat, so if you have a big head it may not even fit! UNfortunately, I can't find anyone with anything better so we are stuck with these. It works, but the idea has such potential it is just a shame no one is making a quality unit - be worth $100.00 if they did!
