Carson TriView 5x/10x/15x Folding Loupe Magnifier with Built-in Case, 3-in-1 Portable Loupe Magnifying Glass - Adjustable Magnification, Great for Jewelry (TV-15)

Very useful. Reasonably well made. I'm not sure how this compares to a $150 piece like from Zeiss, but for the price, hard to go wrong. Lenses are clear. Convenient size.

this is a great magnifier pure and simple. With the ability to choose from 5X, 10X or 15X magnification it has versatility single lens mags don't. The housing is a solid strong plastic only open on the side that the lens close into. The same hard plastic wraps the lenses. THe view clarity is good. Of course as with any magnification tool you need to have enough light to go through unless it comes with a built in light. But, if that's not a concern and you need a solid good power magnifier or are visually impaired like me. This is definitely a good buy for the price. I easily would have been willing to pay $20 for this and it cost me a fraction of that.If you're visually impaired like me I'll be trying other products found on here I already have another review up on a different magnifier that you're welcome to read. I'll be posting reviews on magnifiers and a monocular or 2 for distance help.

Good tool. Instructions would be helpful. Simply the lenses magnifying power are increased by adding more lenses. One lens equals 5x two lenses equals 10x and three lenses equals 15x. The limiting consideration is the size of the effective field of view.

The perfect answer for the antiques business, examining and identifying marks. An essential for success. Compact, sturdy, does the trick.

Love it. better than I expected/

With my eyesight, I always keep magnifying glasses handy and own several, including 3 made by Carson. I like the Carson the best. They work great and at a very fair price.

Its not what I needed so I can't use it but if you want to do very close up highly magnified views it's good. The depth of focus is very short so you have to hold it less than an inch away from the object and have your face very close to the glass so it's not practical for a lot of uses. But good if you can have your eye and the glass and the object all within a couple inches of each other. please note it's also a very small glass as well

I dont know why I thought it was gunna be bigger but it's just what I need. It's perfect!
