I've got one of these - but it's the older, cheaper, model

Doh!

It's OK when you can get the object under the lens.


Good point. ;-)

To do what you are trying, I prefer a head loupe, since it is
more flexible and goes with where you are looking :-)


Ok ..

As an
example, see http://makeashorterlink.com/?U21C51C7D on eBay
(not connected, etc.)


Ah, ok, have seen them about but not tried one ...

The light is c**p but I see Draper now
do one with a LED light that might be better, but is twice the
price...


Or I might be able to use a std flexy light etc?

I might get one of those as-well then .. you never know when such
things come in handy .. ;-)

All the best ..

p.s. Why do folk use 'make a shorter link' (in itself a long link
compared with Tinyurl) and you get that delay while it 'redirects you'
...?
