Does this have it's own magnification? Or does it require a magnifier?

No, this sight requires a magnifier. Anything posted with a 1x magnification is required to have a separate magnifier.I hope this answers your questions as I own this same sight. It is very nice for close quarters to medium range,anything further I would recommend a scope.

It is described as 3x so I assume it magnifies things 3 times as big. When I look through it, I would say that seems right. It is not very big but handy to carry with you, if that is enough magnification.

Hello :) The large mirror surface has no magnification at all. The small mirror that can be swung (for lack of a better word. I'm super tired) forward has I believe 10x magnification. I'll double check. If I'm wrong I will let you know right away as I'm going to check now.

The device has only 1 lens. It may be 60x, but it does not have variable magnification, only variable distance (focus).

As others have noted, this does not have any crosshairs (same as anything else called "magnifier", as opposed to a "scope"). However, there are red dots out there that you could use this with that are battery-less - look at Meprolight M21, in particular.

This was a gift to a friend of ours who has needs 5X magnification to read. It was recommended by a vision specialist. As I recall it came with no bulb. We bought a separate bulb that cost near $30, and that proved to be what he needed.

No - mine did not. It's a really nice magnifying glass though. I ordered one for me and liked it so much I ordered two more for Hubby's parents.

This is a plastic magnifier. It doesn't take photos or connect to anything. You can use it to look at jewels or coins, but it only focuses at a specific range of distance. We use it to look at things in my daycare. Hope this helps!

It comes with the magnifier. They recommend purchasing a different one but I prefered this one over the one they reccomend.

No it does not, there is no scopes out there with a built in magnifier; more accurately a variable magnifier. However, you can buy HHA sights, somewhat pricey, but good quality sights which can you can accessorize with a fixed power x2 x4 x6 lens for magnification. I currently have one of their higher models and the construction is top notch. Both sights have their advantages and disadvantages, what you should get depends on 1) the use and 2) affordability. Hope that helps.

You don't have to look thru magnifier to use light. You can also just look thru magnifier with light off. The light is directional. Point it where you want light. Light has an on/off switch.

Hi Spizy, In answer to your question, no the scope does not have the ability to be focused, however, it does have powerful magnification making visibilty easy, hope this helps. Kind Regards Kathleen

As one of the other responders answered, you can use the magnifier with or without your glasses. The different levels of magnification and the light it has makes this a very useful tool. I gave some of these for Christmas gifts and all are being used on a regular basis.

It doesn't have a light so no batteries are needed. I found the adjustable small rope on each side a real plus because in low light I could increase the magnification by simply sliding it to hang further away.

Yes. It comes with a 2x magnifier. It narrows your field of vision quite a bit and sort of defeats the point of a red for for me.

no, to do what you want you would need a telescope with a computer drive and software, as others have said you can see an object thrugh the view finder but no magnification. Also, my unit is very sensitive to magnetic interference which has required me to leave my deck and go out into the yard away from the house and garage.

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.
