Multi Magnifier

[woodelf]

Anyone recommend a pocket multi magnifier?...preferably with a light and good lens size, more handy for reading small print etc when out shopping. Ta Muchly and Take Care All.

Hi Woodelf.

This isn't a personal recommendation but, based upon the reviews on Amazon and your stated requirements, this is probably what I'd opt for if I was in your position. (My only reservation is that it doesn't come with a case to protect the lenses but someone who's handy with a sewing machine could easily knock one up for it):

I have started using one
and it is NOT that good - surprised how the fish bowl effect interferes

verdict - not as good as I thought they would be

for reading small print, I find it easier (even in shops) to take a pic on my phone and then zoom in on the photo.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah will try that thx

you know on your ctr/lappie you can magnify just about any screen
with control +
( press control key and plus key ( also shift = ) ) together

on my mac its a two fingered gesture :)

Many Thanks for that Chris. As soon as my partner saw the image on Amazon, she said that was the one she had seen in a mag advert and thinking it would be easier to order through Amazon, I tried to order it, trying to evade the clutches of "Prime"...but no such luck - they've got you all ways but loose, eh!...and the options are too convoluted!...so it's backt to the drawing board! - but Very Many Thanks as ever.

Woodelf, there is a good selection on E-bay:-

Sorry Danny, I can't do eBay...or rather, my screen reader (Hypergob) hasn't yet been let loose upon it, causing havoc in all directions!

It really is possible to avoid the free trial of Amazon Prime, Woodelf, but I agree that it takes some doing! If you'd like me to order that magnifier for you, I'm happy to do so. (If the ordering process allows me to enter your address in the despatch section, I can get it sent direct to you. Otherwise I can have it sent to me and then forward it).

[woodelf]

Oh yes please Chris, any which way you can - and you know that payment is here waiting!...and eternal gratitude too!

[Buenchico]

It'll be with you on Tuesday ;-)

You are a lamp!...a geni house!...okay, a genius!...sorry about the weak humour!...Totally Thanks Chris, actions beyond words!...leaves me speechless - "well, that makes a change, eh" joins in Lie-in King, with a wicked grin! - Top Two.
