It is 30X power and has a focal distance of 1/2" (13 mm). The lens has a 21 mm diameter. | |

 It's not 30x Apr 12, 2007
By Killoran
This is a good little magnifier at a terrific price, but it is not 30x, and I don't know why it says it is. I have two other loupes, one that's 10x, and one that has both 15x and 20x, and this one seems to magnify a little better than the 10x. So, if you need high power, this isn't the magnifier you want. It is very easy to use, with a nice large diameter viewing area, and worth the price, but beware if you need higher power.

Stan's Review Jul 04, 2007
By Stanley Troy Thompson
"Stan the Man"
For the money, the is a fairly decent magnifying glass. Don't really expect it to be thirty power, though. It is more or less ten power as far as I can figure by comparing it to several expensive Hastings triplets I own.
Where they got the "approximately 30x" from is anyone's guess unless they were trying to rate the thing by area magnification as opposed to linear magnification. In this case they got the formula wrong.
Magnifiers are usually rate linearly, in that a 2x magnifier should make a one inch line appear two inches. This is the same as binoculars and other magnifying instruments though there is some kind of convention, I believe, of a standard ten inches with reading glass magnifiers.
Whatever--the thing does have glass lenses as far as I can tell and it comes in a nifty little plastic box. It is a great little lens for a geology student or a nature buff and, at the price, makes a novel little gift.

 Not really a 30X Feb 28, 2008
By B. Lozano
Nice lens but not really 30X. I have a 20X and this one magnifies not even close to 20X. It looks like this is just a 10X like the other reviewer says.

 Substandard product at a low price Sep 20, 2008
By saab driver
You will get a much better magnification and less distortions if you go with BELMO's 10 X. This loupe feels as cheap as it actually is.

Disappointing Feb 15, 2010
By Kadri Kiran
I have a 16x loupe. I have been using it for years. When I saw this item with 30x, I ordered three without waiting. 10 days later, after my order I received the loupes and experienced them immadiately. Howewer the result was disappointing. My 16x old loupe was deffinitely magnifying better than 30x. I guess it is maximum 10x compared with my old 16x.
All tree loupes are in my drower without being used.
