Do the +2 masks have an insert lens in the bottom? I am looking for a single lens, not a bifocal, that has +2 magnification. I was told that they all only have magnification on the bottom portion of the mask, which is not what I am looking for.

I think my lens are one complete lens at -6. I don't know anything about magnification at the bottom. They are not for reading, so I think they are one complete lens at whatever you order. I am very happy with mine.

I did not save the box, and the Magnifer itself doesn't say what the magnification is. I would hazard the guess that it is 2X or 3X, with greater magnification in a small spot within the larger glass. Whatever the magnification is, I find it to be what I need for doing beading work...but I am nearsighted and so don't need much correction to do close-up work. Someone who is farsighted, or who uses reading glasses, might need something stronger. I hope this helps!

I personally do not own a magnifier for my M-21, but I do know that Meprolight makes a 3x magnifier and I have come across discussions with pictures demonstrating other brands of magnifiers working with the M-21.

As far as I can tell - it does not have any 1/2 zoom increments. I have used the Zoom a few times and haven't seen those type of increments. Hope that helps!

The lens does have a blue tint when you just look at it but when you engage your eye to look through it the blue tint is not there. I think this must be an effect of the lenses (mane polarization). Looking through it it seems to be natural lighting with no tint. I don't have great eyes but the magnifier looks very clear to me and I really enjoy using it. From about 75 yards on it gives me a real advantage.

Standard Gunnar glasses have a +1.2 magnification to them, per their website:http://www.gunnars.com/gunnars-vs-cheap-alternatives/

As far as I can tell, the whole thing is the same magnification. No insert.

i have the same question. i understand the difference between FFP and SFP and im sure the OP does too. but in the item's description, it says "Options of First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane Reticle". what the hell does that mean?? you can switch the reticle back and forth between the first and second planes? there are no options to choose which model when you add it to your cart. so which one do you end up with? can someone answer that without trying to educate us on the difference between FFP and SFP?

Hi, it does have magnification, but through the included software (via download). It's a digital zoom. So you do lose some quality. To attach, you need to remove the existing eye piece. There is a very small screw holding it. Unscrew that and then pull out. For my microscope, I did not need any of the included adapters. Note installation may be different if you have a different model microscope. Hope this helps.

No, it's not an add-on or "auxiliary" lens -- it's a full lens in itself. It goes on your DSLR *in place of* any other lens, not added on to an existing lens.

There are two parts of the lense. The first one is just a glass (blurred focus) the second one is the fish eye you need both in order to work. I hope this helps!

In the pair of glasses that I got there was only the one set. I think you can get a different more expensive set with additional lenses, but that wasn't for me. I'm very happy with them and they are my primary riding glasses. I have another set that I use at night.

I bought this accessory kit a few months ago when I first started off in photography.. I was looking for something inexpensive to go with my kit lenses that would boost what they could capture.. When they arrived, I connected them and found out that they were nothing more than pieces of glass.. There is no magnification or anything.. I'd recommend that you don't buy any of these.. Save your money and buy Nikon lenses.. I just bought a 50mm 1.8G from Best Buy for $199 and it is amazing.. I did tell the seller that they were nothing but glad and they refunded my purchase with no hesitation so I'm assuming they knew they were glass.. Hope this helps..

i found its a better piece of glass and you will only need one lens for all scenarios. I was constantly switching from one kit lens to the other, now I ack one lens and im good to go in most scenarios. I sold my kit lenses and got a nice 50m 1.8 for portraits and use this 18-200 for all other instances.

Hi, Gerald. Nikon says the lenses are "multi-coated." The lens have a bluish cast but do not have that orangish cast you see in some of the more expensive binoculars. As a side note: I am somewhat of a minimal user, meaning my binoculars spend more time in the drawer than in my hands. Nonetheless, I satisfied with these binoculars. Last weekend, we took them to a college football game at which we sat directly behind the goal posts. Both my wife and I were amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the view compared to the little sports binoculars we used to use. Earlier this summer we watched a lot of wildlife at an upstate New York lake. Again, sharp and satisfying. Hi, Gerald. Nikon says the lenses are "multi-coated."

Hello Joy,The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.htmlIf you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson® 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon.I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful!I hope this is helpful to you!Matt K

it does come with a 2x magnifier. I have not actually used it while shooting. It seems like a solid little piece of equipment considering the price and country of origin. Hope that helped.
