Rongon Pocket Magnifier Small Folding Magnifying Glasses 10X 28mm Mini Jewelers Magnifying Loupe with Scale Three-Folding Loupe Magnifiers for Coins Textile Optical Jewelry Tool (1 Pcs)

I have purchased hundreds of these lenses from Rongon over the past few years for our company. We use them to perform inspections on brazements and recommend them for use by our customers. The lenses make the job a lot easier and allow us to provide consistent results. The built in scales on the base of the lens are very convenient. The code calls for a minimum 4X power. These are 10X, but the magnification is perfect for the samples we are inspecting. The price can not be beat at under $10. The lens comes with a nice little pouch to allow carrying it in your pocket keeping it free from scratches.

It's a standard printers loop 10 power very good precise allows you to see things that you can't see in your older age or even young at sometimes

Fine linen tester; solidly made ... large magnifying lens ... base inscribed both English and metric ... no central chromatic aberration and not too much, peripherally

Perfect for reading tiny mouse type on food packages and cans.I bought 2. One for the kitchen another for my desk.

I use this device to count threads in weaving, and the magnification is great. The only downside is that it is stiff when folded open and closed, although that may improve with further use.

Technically, there was probably nothing wrong with this item. I just misunderstood the description, probably due to the description not being detailed or correct. The issues were mm vs. inches, and the multiplier of magnification. I'm a printer and I've carried a loupe in my pocket for over 50 years (no kidding.) The picture looked just like the one I carry, so I was good to go to purchase a few new one's for co-workers. However, the ones I received were about twice the physical size as the one I carry -- too big and chunky to carry in a pocket. And the magnification was just about no magnification at all - certainly not 10x magnification. The halftone dots appeared just about the same size with or without the magnification. Readers may not understand my comments regarding halftone dots, so maybe a photo of a small picture showing the magnification would have been useful.

Finally got my loupe and how disappointing it wasn't focusing properly at the unfolding. The lens should sit parallel to the foot to enlarge the inspection area to inspect the print. This one enlarges but it is so out of focus, you can't see the screen prints. I have to tilt the lens nearly 45 degrees to have sharp focus and still, that isn't ideal. Was relying on the good reviews to get something decent. Seriously fooled this time.

You can’t set this directly on the object you’re looking at, you need to hold it about a centimeter above to get a clear image. I use it to find hair splinters in my hand. Makes it hard to tweeze them out when I have to use my one free hand to hold it just right,
