I have been using over the counter magnifying glasses for years, getting at best 2x maybe 3x, so I have been blind all these years. I use the glass for viewing coins now, used to collect and work on watches before. Let me tell you this 5x glass/loupe is great. I love it and am glad to make a positive review. It is easy to use and has good field of view. And presents the real thing you are viewing, in my estimation. It was recommended to me by several dealers at a recent coin show, and they were spot on. Professional grading system is based on viewing with 5x so you get to see what the graders are basing their opinion on . Thanks Bausch and Lomb and e-bay.

This little magnifier is well made and, because it is small, very handy. It is small enough for a pocket and the lens is well-protected when it is not in use. I have a similar magnifier that I have had for many years. This one is smaller and in some ways better designed and should last even if much used. The lens is sharp and clear. I am glad to get a good replacement for my old, tired unit.

It magnifies 5 times what you are reading or foing and it is the whole clear section not just like a dot which is useless. Light weight and so simple to use. Order more and I will buy more.

One had some nonspherical problems. The others were fine. These were similar to the same product I bought a long time ago and continue to use.

The magnifier has huge distortions and only the central portion of the lens can be read. To be effective at a 5x magnification a lens must be a triplet which is both smaller and much more expensive. I returned the B&L magnifier.

If you wear glasses or need some optical help to read the "fine print," this B & L pocket magnifier is one of the best products to keep in your pocket or purse. It is a self-contained, durable case (less than 2" square} which protects the 5X magnifying lens which slides into position for those times when putting on ordinary glasses is burdensome. In these times, no one should have to worry about handling eyewear that you have to put on your face and near your ears! The price makes this personal item very attractive.

Great 5x magnifier for the price. Is small and compact in the pocket but enough to hold onto when using.

I see more coin dealers using this glass than any other. It is just so handy to slide the glass into the case so it can be safely carried around in one's pocket. I have had one for over ten years with no problems at all. It is very sturdy.
