Which would probably be the same here and so meaning all the others

The four lens pairs are in a plastic box with retaining slots. When I put
the headset away (IN tend to use it in bursts) I put all lenses in the
box.


Even I should be able to do that (and as you say, may well keep the
same one in all the time).

Would you be able to find a link to what you use please Bob?


They're quite old. I think I got them from CPC. I'll take a look.


Cheers.

Ah, hwere we are. The band adjustment is a locking lever rather than a
wheel (I think I was remembering the face shield). But this looks the
same.

Just type TL08789 into the search box!


Thanks for that Bob.

I couldn't see any mention of the magnification options on any of the
ModelCraft references but it looks very similar (the same as?) the
Carson offerings, like this:

The max mag seems to be 3x "Includes 4 acrylic lenses (1.5x, 2x, 2.5x,
3x)" so does that work differently to straight glasses (like my x4's)
or is it the fact that you can use them *with* glasses / monocle mean
that you get the increased magnification?
