Very nice and CHEAP hand lens for bud viewing.

Just thought I would put this out there. After using several different kind of scopes (the owrst being the adjustable 50-80x lighted POS one. I recently order a couple of different loops from this place and low and behold the cheapest one also works the best.

Buy some extra batteries with it because its easy to close it without turning it off.

looks like I'm gonna finally own a scope lol...... nice find.

the seller is on ebay. you can get ebay bucks and free shipping if you buy from there instead.

Huh. Thanks for the tip. Going to buy one for a friend soon. They work suprisingly well. I purchased a higher quality, polished triple lens loop at the same time and I use this one more.

Great find! Thank-you for sharing it as well.

thanks gunna scoop one of those up

WOW!!! Just in time! I was gonna start looking for one this week!! Thanks for the heads up!

might want to grab two. Dropped mine and the LED is flickering on and off. Wedged a toothpick in there to fix it..but just saying $3 doesn't get you the most durable lens in the world.

Nice find LF!

I have one of those magnifiers. Not a bad product. Believe it or not, this magnifier has served as my go-to for the last 2 years:

It works better than it has any right to. One can view the trichs right on the plant with very little effort.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the adjsutable scopes if you know how to use them
