is there any magnification?

No, this is a 1X scope, no magnification. However, you do get infinite eye relief and quick acquisition of targets at close range.

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

No. it only magnifies mid-range objects. If you put out your hands at arms length you can see enhanced details of lines on the palm of your hands. These glasses are not intended for reading. If you want to see a live demo/display i recommend you visit a Best Buy to test it out before you purchase it on Amazon

No there is no magnifier. We put this on our Hawk 981-R and it works great.

The magnification on this mini mirror is 10X; it's 5X on the larger mirror. I actually use both mirrors. I guess I'm blind as a bat!

You can see through the scope although it has no magnification. It only acts as a sight.

Yes, though its 5x magnification is a bit high for reading menus extensively.2x magnification might be more appropriate, depending on your vision.

No, but the magnifier is no longer available. If you've found some, please let me know where!

there is no magnification on the large surfaced mirror. it is a true image mirror; what you see is what you get/have

Unfortunately it is fixed at 4 magnification. The only thing that is adjustable is the ocular focus and the parallax. 4x zoom still has a nice field of view.

The useful magnification is about 140x for astronomical purposes. Beyond this you're going to get fuzzy images. Don't be fooled by extravagant claims.

I can't see it without a magnifying glass. I've never had a problem with any of them.

1X magnification is no magnification. The scale starts at 1 power or unmagnified. This optic is zero magnification.

Yes, however, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this item. The magnifying effect of the eyepiece is so modest, almost negligible.

No, magnification is fixed. However it is optimally set for makeup, and does not over-magnify your face.

Joyce, there's nothing listed on the magnifier itself. I'm fairly certain it's about 3x magnification, with a "spot"of about 5x. Hope this helps.

With the lowest magnification you are about 8 to 10 inches. As you move up in magnification you have to get closer.
