how do I judge which magnification I will need ?

The more magnification, the more " up close" you'll see. The higher the number, the more magnification. 15x is fifteen times more than the naked eye can see, so 15x is a lot. Like wearing strong glasses. You'll see pores, and hairs, and wrinkles that you'll wish you never saw. Lol.

15X is if you want to see extremely close! I have bad eye sight, so I need this. Only bad thing is you can not see your whole face at one time. For normal use, I would suggest a 7X. 15X you can almost see every pore on your face, and only one eye at a time pretty much. Hope this helps.

15x is very very strong. you would only use it to see up very close like to pluck hairs - you would not use it to apply make up for example unless you have very bad eyesight. I would recommend that you go to Bed Bath and Beyond or another store and look in the mirrors there to experience the different magnifications and then order the product with the magnification level that you need from Amazon.

This is quite magnified. You will use this for eyebrow plucking and detailed eye makeup application. It is not good to look at your whole face - just a small part of it - but it is perfect for that. I love this mirror!!

I recently had cataract surgery and I am now farsighted. Standard 5X magnification didn't help at all, so I went for the highest one I could find. If a 5X doesn't work at all for you, go for the highest magnification.

15x provides exceptional magnification to let you see "more than you want"! Just be sure you have time to tweeze as you will see the finest hair whether it be brow, mustache, or chin.

I am just guessing but I assume it is 2 and 1/2 magnification; I have one of these and the cord that you put around your neck can be adjusted to bring your work into focus so I wouldn't worry about it. I love mine! Well worth the money!

Your lens should say what distance it is accross the lens (diameter) or you can measure it.

A 3 or 5x might be a bit much for that scope. A smaller 1.5 or 2x would be a better fit. All a Barlow does is increase your magnification. A 2x would double the magnification of whatever eye piece you use. Rule of thumb for maximum useable mag is 50 times the aperture. The aperture of the 127 is 5 inches. So the highest useable mag would be around 250x and that would be with perfect viewing conditions.

I had to get three magnifiers and finally could make out model number.It's the same.

A 6mm eyepiece will give you about 75x magnification. I get better views of Jupiter in my scope with 4mm and 3.8mm eyepieces at about 115x. I don't like using a Barlow.

3 1/4 inches with an inset of a stronger magnifier of about 1 inch diameter

The working area is about 1.5 X 1.5 cm, with 1 cm working distance. If the working area is 17cm, the magnification is little. :-)

There are two magnifications I believe. You can reach two focus points by turning the know. So there are two positions you can turn to that will give you a clear image. Those two positions have different magnifications. Just turn the knob between its extremes and you'll see.

I returned mine. The light was not bright enough and the magnification didn't suit me as I was used to something stronger.

sorry have not had mine long enough to answer that. but i will tell you that the magnification is not what i expected.would have sent it back but my husband 'hard wired' it and i did not have the heart to tell him i was not happy with it. don't buy it!

That is the strength of the reading glass. The higher the number the greater the magnification. It is not at all about the size as it will fit your head.

HI, A 20 magnification will give you a wide field of view. a 10 mag will show object closer and a 2 x barlow will give you a 5 degree field of view (zoom effect) hope this helps

have a look at there size chart,they have measurements in imperial and metric.measure both ends of your scope.

The one we have has a pretty short focal length if you want it to get higher magnification. However, if can focus farther but with much less magnification. If you are doing PC boards you may be better off with something else like a stand magnification lamp.

When I ordered I had an option to select the magnification. Try another gamma ray search and see if other gamma ray products come up that give you that option. Hope that helps.

I couldn't find any documentation for the magnification, but I would hazard a guess at around 3x. It works well for me, I use it for paper craft.
