[Elecraft] Question for Optivisor users

[Stan Rife]

I think mine came with a #2 lens Mike. Focal distance is around 8" and still gives good magnification. I find it very comfortable as far as the distance and power. I thought I might try one that would get me a little farther away, but I am happy with the present lense so it hasn't been something that I thought I really needed to get.

  I know there are at least a couple of Optivisor users on the list. I wonder which number visor plates you're using for SMD work? I just bought a visor with a #3 plate. I preferred the magnification level of a #4 or #5, but the focal distance was so short with them they seemed to defeat the purpose; I'm 46 and can still see tiny parts pretty well if I get up a couple of inches from them, which I had to do with a #4 plate in order to have it be in focus. I also got an Optiloupe for it but haven't tried it yet. Just wondering if anyone has any wisdom to share. Thank you.
