I love the magnifying lenses! First off, this is a great deal! I have been wanting the credit size Fresnel lenses for a while now, but they usually run $5 to $10 by themselves. They are wonderful! I am an avid backpacker and outdoors-man and I carry many ways to create fire. These work perfect for that. They are easy to focus to create an ember, plus they are handy for seeing to remove things such as splinters. With three in this kit, I can always carry one, as well as my wife with a third left over.
On to the main lenses! These are high quality lenses. It doesn't say what they are made of but guessing from the weight they are glass. As you can see in the photo the large one weighs 6 ounces without the batteries. The large 3.5 inch lens has a 2.5X magnification. I found this the perfect one to read small print and maps. The fact that they all use the same handle saves space as well as batteries. I like that feature since I only need 3 AAA batteries instead of 9. The 3-inch lens has a 5X magnification, I found this one to be more useful for things dealing with electronics. It was so nice to be able to easily make out the circuits when soldering. The final lens is a 1.5-inch lens with 16X magnification. This lens is perfect for removing splinters, checking out super small details and teaching my children about insects and plant parts. It really magnifies!! The 2 leds really light up what you are looking at, making the need for an external light source obsolete. I almost forgot to mention they also come with a cleaning cloth.
Overall these are really nice, high quality magnifying lenses and with the number you get 6 total plus a cleaning cloth they are a great deal and I highly recommend them.
I received the lenses at a free or discount price in exchange for an honest review.
