Hi Doug, Try one of these: http://www.summerfieldbooks.com/hand-lenses.asp Eye-magnify is the other source people use. Can't vouch for quality as I've so far...
I like a dual lens with two magnifications. My own choice is 10x and 20x. I bought mine from: http://www.summerfieldbooks.com/hand-lenses.asp They are of good...
I've bought the Ruper lenses (like wot Summerfield stock) frequently, but I've recently acquired an Opticron 23mm 10x lens and have been impressed with it. If...
