do the magnifier glass distort the image in some way or it just enlarge the image with no distortion?

I accept distortion because I use it only when is very light and I can't see my camera screen. For me it is very useable.

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.

My experience is that it adjusts the focal length and this the magnification increased, but you must move the subject closer or farther from the end. You may have to move the small object into the window if it comes into focus. Depth of field gets very tight at higher mag.

There is no magnification, but the image is very clear. I think magnification would be negative on this product. I'm still very happy with it.

Every extra glass in front of a lens will influence on the quality of the picture theoretically, but I can ´t see any differences on my pictures.

Yes the magnification is great the only problem is the small mirror falls out after a few uses because the mirror heats up from the light ... I still use it with a gaping hole in it lol

I don't see any distortion, I use it for tying small flies for fly fishing.

No, there is no normal magnification, only 5X. This mirror is really a great mirror! I don't miss having a smaller magnification mirror.

From what I learned doing research on this, the construction of the lens in the scope would normally cause distortions in colors unless corrected. It's a feature on better scopes. I've used this scope extensively and it's very clear and I have not seen any issue with accurate color.

No. There is a slight magnification that helps with making text / images clear. Sort-of like reading glasses, but not quite as extreme. I have 20/20 vision, and can use them just fine.

Glass is sharper, and the sharpness is broader in the middle Vs. the plastic one only being very sharp almost completely in the center. The glass lens also has less of the barrel distortion. I'ts simply about preference, typically people purchase the holga cameras for the distortion ability...

It really doesn't..you would just move the magnifier farther away or closer....leaves a lot to be desired in the sides

You have to hold the magnifier well off the page. If you just put in on the page, there is no magnification.

The magnification depends on the eyepiece used. This is a low end telescope, so image quality deteriorates at higher magnification (shorter focal length eyepiece) The maker claims 300X magnification using the supplied 3x Barlow; I find that claim laughable. Keep in mind that, as with any Astronomical Telescope, the image will be inverted (upside down, left to right reversed) unless you use an erecting diagonal.

No it is just supposed to allow you to have a wider field of view. It looks fish eye-like. In my opinion it makes the images look blurry and actually reduces the quality.

Yes, it appears to. It's very subtle, and does not equate to the same type of effect a person who wears prescription lenses is used to. I don't need reading glasses or contact lenses normally, and if I wear my brother's glasses, everything is distorted and I can't see clearly. I uses these glasses while on my computer, because I'm a developer and spend hours looking at a screen every day. The magnification is very, very minute, you only notice it if you remove your glasses and put them back on again quickly. It just helps make everything more readable and clear.

Yes, it automatically rotates them. I haven't noticed any distortion, however my pictures are all very large (1200x1000) jpeg files from my camera so I wonder if that helps with not seeing distortion.
