Now in fairness, and the reason I gave it 2 stars and not 1 star is because there was no false advertising and I apparently screwed up. I didn't do my homework and it's my fault and I guess your opinion of this will depend on what you're using it for.The lenses are alright and the magnification is okay. but they're *so* small. I wish I bought anything else but this. A few years ago I bought a couple of cheap radioshack magnifiers. They were similar to this. The lenses weren't quite as good, but they are *much* bigger. Since then, they've taken some damage and I was looking to replace them. This was not the way to do it! I'm so disappointed! If wasn't for me not paying enough attention when I read the specs on this item I'd give it a 1 star. I'm thinking about re-selling it because I'll likely never use this. If I got $10 dollars for it (40% of what I paid) it would be $10 that would use, unlike this. *so* disappinted!!!
