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.

The wider lenses on this hand lens was amazing to use as someone used to the really teeny standard hand lenses. They were super clear and have held up quite well even after being used regularly in the field. I've dropped it both opened and closed and I've cleaned it a ton and no scratches (at least none yet).

It works very well for rock ID in the field.

This pocket loupe does exactly what it says on the box. It provides three identical lenses which can be used individually or in combination. Used all together, the stack makes a strong magnifier with a fairly short working distance so you will want to have good light available. Used singly or in pairs, the working distance is more reasonable, but the magnification is lower.I have not attempted to measure either the focal length or the magnification, but from comparison with other lenses, the 5x claim for the individual lenses is plausible. Naturally then, the 10x for a pair and 15x for all three follow from the properties of lenses.I actually carry this primarily as a close-up lens for my cell phone camera. It is easy to hold against the back of the phone with the lens(es) aligned with the camera while taking a picture, and the strong magnifier allows the camera to be in focus quite close to the subject.

Item as described.Reasonable price for item; Fast shipping; Carefully packaged; Affordable shipping costs.

Works reasonably well for the price. Some other reviewers mentioned that the edges are heavily distorted when looking through the lenses, but this is only true in one direction. If you look through the lens from the opposite side most of the field of view is clear. One lens is installed with the opposite orientation of the others though, which makes it basically impossible to see through all three of them at the same time. The two with the same orientation can be stacked and used for additional magnification. Including the third lens in the product is kind of pointless, and the product would be more compact, equally useful, and I can only assume cheaper, if it only included two lenses.

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.

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