Detail

Two 20mm diameter lenses, 6X and 4X magnification = 10X together.

A copy of the Zeiss loupe, but at nearly a twentieth of the price.

On the one hand, you don't get the best quality at this price, on the other hand it 'works fine' as a basic magnifier. We sell these by the handful on our stand at the Kempton fair, I think people must be reselling them.
