I am a strictly amateur botanizer who enjoys looking at flowers and insects
close-up. I've been making do with a folding plastic hand lens, but I want
to get a high quality glass lens.
I have narrowed my choice to the following items, both from Edmund Scientific.
1. a 10X Hastings triplet
2. a 10x Coddington
Can anyone give me a good evaluation of the performance of these two designs?
The Coddington is significantly less expensive than the Hastings, but it
is by no means cheap ($27).
Is there really that much better performance with the Hastings?
Please e-mail any replies to <<del_col at ab.wvnet.edu>> or to the
Thanks very much.
