Carson SureGrip Series Hand Held or Hands Free 2x Power Magnifying Glasses For Reading, Low Vision, Inspection, Craft and Hobby Magnifiers, SG-14

Ordinary glass product cost is high

Habe diese Lupe für optische Experimente gekauft, für die ich eine große Linse mit langer Brennweite benötigte. Dafür ist sie gut geeignet, habe aber auch die Eigenschaft als Lupe getestet. Die Linse wird ohne Kratzer aber mit leichten im reflektierendem Licht sichtbaren Schlieren geliefert, die die Funktion als Lupe nicht beeinträchtigen. Durch die geringe Vergrößerung gibt es keine sichtbaren Verzerrungen (wohl aber riesige bei der kleinen Zusatzlinse im Griff). Loben muss man das geringe Gewicht, den handlichen Griff und die mitgelieferte praktische Hülle. Die Lupe kann Sehfehler nicht ausgleichen und daher eine Lesebrille nicht ersetzen. Zusammen mit einer solchen Brille ermöglicht sie die Übersicht über eine große Fläche. Die Vergrößerung ist aber nur, wie angegeben 2-fach. Wer ernsthafte Sehprobleme hat, ist mit einer größeren Vergrößerung und mit einer beleuchteten Lupe besser bedient.

This Carson magnifying glass is the third of its brand that I have had in my possession. It has a very nice handle, made of some type of Non-slip and soft-feeling material. The color palette of this magnifying glass is in an easy to take subdued gray, with touches of black, a classically elegant color choice.The shape, and the size of the handgrip are ideally suited for those with arthritis, or with limitations upon the use of their hands. In spite of the very large size of this glass, it is not nearly as heavy as it looks to be, another bonus for those that are ill, of have limited-mobility issues. The quality of this brand is superb, and the other two of this make, are precisely the same, except for the mirror portion being quite a bit larger, The product quality has held true during the time that I have owned all of these devices. Ass with the other magnifying glasses of this type,this is exceedingly sturdy, ergonomic, and well-designed for daily use. This size is quite convenient for those with limited vision due to a variety of reasons. In my case, I became ill and the accompanying medications caused my vision to worsen during the period of time that the medications were in use. I was quite depressed to begin with, illness is never much fun, but the fact of the illness having required the use of medications which almost completely ruined my vision was nearly a bridge too far for me to cross. Although knowing that the medications would eventually be discontinued, with the accompanying return of my normally perfect vision, that thought did not improve my attitude as my attempts to read practically anything were thwarted by the medication. As a last attempt to locate some form of something which would allow me to read, and to exist in a more comfortable atmosphere, I purchased this very large version of the same style of magnifying glasses which were already in my possession. I achieved truly magnificent results with the use of this much larger-sized glass. I was able to most conveniently, and yet at the same time comfortably move the glass far less frequently, as the glass was large enough to allow one to read nearly the entire page get of a book, and very large sections of a newspaper. The handle is well-designed, and has an easy-grip style making usage possible for even those with weak, or shaky hands. I was very glad when I was able to discontinue the medications causing the vision problems. However, I am carefully preserving these glasses for the future, knowing full-well that there will be a time my life when I will almost certainly need these magnifying glasses on a daily basis. Thes magnifying glasses are made of unusually high-quality materials, and will easily withstand a fall of several feet onto a rug, or hardwood floors. I can highly-recommend this CARSON magnifying glass. Not only in this size, but also in the various available sizes in which CARSON produces these excellent, and exceptionally resilient and useful magnifying glasses. Thank-you to CARSON for making my illness just a bit less onerous than was absolutely necessary. These products are excellent and high-quality magnifying glasses, with many possible applications, of which only a few were tested by me, but one could see that the possibilities were limitless.

Got this as a replacement for my dad's old scuffed up magnifying glass. Protective case is a nice touch which will hopefully prevent it from getting scuffed as well. Large lens is handy because of its huge area, and the spot lens is useful for small details. Grip is soft and comfortable.

Very good, I like its 5 inch size to do some real reading.

Very good handheld magnifier.
