Piece of junk for money. Should have stuck with reviews I read. Never could get it to focus.

I tried them outside and I found that I could see objects very clearly at distances ranging from 6 feet to infinity. Those who have problems with their eyesight, however, might find that they are only good for either short or far distances. In my opinion, they would be useful at a live opera performance - as long as you make the modification I made with mine (see the instructions I inserted into my edited review today). Also keep in mind that the magnification, although useful, is not comparable to what you'd get with binoculars.

It sits exactly as you see it. The magnification works from the distance from your screen. It does not have a button adjustment. It is a good magnifier. The only problem I had was that one of the legs that hold it to the screen had broken in shipment.

It's difficult to answer this question but will do my best. The views can be very sharp...it simply depends on the distance of the object being viewed. There is a limit to this lens, obviously. I feel it is quite good, but I have also purchased the additional set of lenses for this telescope giving me even more range and depth to what can be seen clearly and sharply. I hope this helps.

yes, it is very simple, it is just to view, does not magnify, at least not much, need good light source with even light to see it the best. it is just for viewing nothing else

I think it would be just fine - it has the same magnification as high school scopes. I am including a informative website on buying a microscope. Hope it helps. http://www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/buyers-guide.htm

Yes you can see through it and it focus by moving it in and out. I would say it is a functioning novelty.

i like the way it looks, the solid build, very high quality. The total magnification isn't all that powerful, with the exception of Jupiter and the moon, everything else will just look like a dot.

If you need something that's portable and durable, then yes. Otherwise, the glass quality is good, but there's no magnification, which might be an issue for some.

This is good for looking at small objects. I've used it at work for parts that are smaller than your fingernail. The part has to be fairly close to the lens in order for it to be focused. It works great for indoors because of the LED light on it. You may want something bigger (larger lens) for looking at flowers/plants in detail (like a larger magnifying glass perhaps).

It is bright and clear enough but of course the larger objective lenses will gather more light although they tend to get heavier as they get bigger of course. It only focuses down to about 15 feet. So not good for very close range. In general Vortex optics are very good. I have 12x50 binocs. and a rifle scope that are all sharp, clear and bright. There is also an 8x25 Solo, or something like that. It is smaller and lighter and might be good for concerts as we;;/

Mindy, I think it does very well. Pros: it's tack sharp when the AF can detect, and it's quiet. Cons: the AF can be slow or need to hunt a bit. However, I think that's the case with any lens.

It depends on your eye sight, but this monitor magnifier has made my life much better. I can see fine print, lighter text much better. Two people have bought one after seeing mine at work and all of us are happier. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Since you get it for free, not bad. Narrows your view for short range tactical shoots, not enough magnification to help at the 200 yard stations. You would be better off getting the Vortex swing away magnifier. The sight itself is really good.

Magnification not very good.it is useful for children to wach moon only. Thank you

It is an upgrade compared to eyepieces that come with the scope. It is not a bad eyepiece. I was comparing the different focal lengths to my Explore Scientific eyepieces and the view is not much different other than the field of view. At lower focal lengths it has a decent FOV. I think it is worth what they sell for.

the scope is very small.. and looking into it, its not very clear at all.. trust me, the lens to look into the scope is even extremely small.... that being said, although it cheap.... its not worth the money because it just isn't good. it is a crap scope trust me, dont waste your money there are a lot of better ones
