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.

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

Come to think of it I only received 3 as well! But the 1 lens turns into 2 but only works with the one it screws off of.

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!

Mine says it has a 3.5 inch 2.25 (5 diopter) lens. It also came with a little magnifying tape on arm thingy that shows no instructions for how to attach it or how to use it? I am so confused!

I'm sorry I can't be of much help as I am not familiar with your camera. As far as eyepiece, you should not need one. You place your magnifying device in the upper portion, and attach your camera to the lower. I was able to get my camera lens right up to my magnifying device. Although, I only had a cheap monoscope. Haven't tried it out with spotting scopes, but it does allow for many styles and shapes of cameras, I feel.

This is NOT a magnifying scope. It is intended for sighting only. Technically, this would be a "sight", not a "scope", and would have a power of x1. It has two adjustments to zero the reticle. There could be another adjustment for intensity and size of the reticle, but there is no magnification on this model. I hope this was helpful.

It comes with two eyepiece sets. I don't see a mm setting. One eyepiece says WF 20x . The other eyepiece says WF 10x/18. I did a little research online, and apparently /18 means 18mm. I'm not sure what the 20x eyepiece is. Until my son because interested a couple years ago, I hadn't used a scope since my college biology GM course; and now I'm learning along with him. I suspect life science majors, grad students, and professionals will need to buy better eyepieces. But these have been great to show my son prepared slides and teach him to be aware of a microscopic view of our cosmos. Hopefully our interests will lead us someday to considering better eyepieces in a year or two. But, if you're looking for more now, you may need to budget that into their purchase better eyepieces. Or you can contact the business and see if they would replace these eyepieces, add better ones, and for what price. This has been my only business with them, but they were remarkably attentive and responsive to this novice user.

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.

2.75 is not a standard lens magnification offered by the manufacturer in this style, so most vendors do not carry it. Some vendors do carry it as a specialty item, however. The vendor LittleGorgeousThings does have the 2.75 lenses at this time, but it may not be listed in the Amazon product catalog as an option; you would have to contact them directly to get it put in your glasses.

I would not stack more than 2 filters. There probably won't be any effect on sharpness, but you could get vignetting depending in the lens. Try it, if it works fo9r you, it's OK.

So you have the option to have a different strength for each eye? I did not when getting swim goggles and went with something in the middle, so in your case, either 2 or 2.5. I have one eye too strong, one not enough, but that does not seem to be a problem.

No magnification. I sent mine back. You can get dual zone magnification for $30 or so from other vendors.

No. This goes in place of your eyepiece. This device is the equivalent of a 7mm eyepiece, which will already result in high magnification images. If you want to go further in, as many people do, then something like a 2.5X barlow lens should be employed. That's the next thing I'm going to acquire. I'm thinking that Jupiter with a 2.5X barlow will nearly fill the 640x480 frame size on my Celestron 8", with enough room to keep the image tracked. The frame stacking software, Registax is where the magic occurs. The videos you take of planets from this thing will not wow you, but after stacking they should.

jmich; Like you, I certainly was not trying to be glib. I just did not encounter the problem you did. I do have one idea, though: The scope comes with two eyepieces. One of the eyepieces is useful, but the other one I found useless. The target could not be centered or even seen. Hope this helps.J

Not exactly - the lens is 2x. There is a small circle in the lens that is 5x. So, you can position the lens over your work so that you are looking through the 5x circle.
