I didn't intend to make a commercial for Peak Optics, but these are the ones I use the most.

The stand loops are 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, & 30x. They all measuring reticles. The hand magnifying glasses are achromatic doublets at 1.3x, 2x, and 5x -- the large one is 75mm in diameter.

Has anyone ever used a Proscope Micro Mobile that attaches to your phone to view stamps. I saw this device on Pawn Stars where it was used to get a close up look at autographs. I thought it would be ideal to use at stamp shows. What do you think?

Pros/Cons?

This is the one I just got.

Replaced the lighted handheld I had forever that finally fell apart.

For general looking. For closeup I like the USB microscope.

I like the large field of view, 3 color modes, and it's made of glass not plastic.

And the promotion of 'Senior Reading"
