surgical or dental; whatever they are called - i did a search and came up null.

i want something better than optivisor of tamiya.

any recommendation?

about "3x" would be good; currents (above) are 2.5x so i might like to go a little stronger.

thanks

I'm with Ralph.  The Donegan Optivisor is a very good choice.  I've had 1 for over 40 years with their #7 (2.75X, 6" focal length) lens set.  It works very well for modeling.

When I bought my Optivisor 30 years ago, I was uncertain which lens to get so I bought 4.  The #3, #5, #7 and #10.  I am glad I did.  I started with the 3 and 5 used the most.  As I got older I had to move up the scale.  I am now use the 7 and 10 the most.  I also use my glasses under the visor kind of like a bifocal.  Works well for me. New lenses are not ridiculously price for a precision piece of optical equipment.
