Comments
Stunning quality lens (this really is on a par with Zeiss, though the lens is slightly smaller).
It has a 4-element lens, i.e. four lenses cemented on top of each other, each to correct for distortion and colour - that's better than a triplet, which has 3-elements.
This is one that I carry myself, in my pocket, because it is so small an unobtrusive, and I really don't need large lens for looking at very tiny objects.

Nifty little magnifier: was able to see the tiny letters on a fivepenny piece forthe first time in ages, and easier to see splinters in fingertips (keen gardener)
