I bought these jewelry magnifying glasses with LED lights to help with painting since my vision is starting to fade... I found these watch repair magnifier glasses on eBay at a cheap price and I thought they couldn't hurt.
The kit came with four sets of lenses, LED lights on each "eye," and the lens for each eye can be lifted up and down into position. The plastic is light weight but better quality than I expected for the price I paid.
However, I didn't expect this problem: the glasses work too well.
Even at the lowest magnification of 10X, the focal point is about an inch from my nose. I'm not kidding when I say it's really, really close. I look like I'm trying to paint my own nose hair rather than dot the eyes of a space elf. (That's a new sentence never written before.)
The glasses are neat, but maybe not for mini painting.
Cool Delaque cosplay potential though!
