Hmm, nice bit of lateral thinking there .. ;-)


The VC can go into the subject a lot better than magnifier.


The only thing is it's a bit less 'portable' than say a magnifying
lamp and may add a bit more difficulty as you aren't looking 'through'
the magnifying system as you would with a glass?

I dare say you get used to the 'fix-by-wire' in time?

All the best ..
