Tom, I normally don't use magnification except for really small stuff and examining boards, but my experience has not been good with the swing arm magnifiers - if they are of sufficient power to do any good, I find I cannot hold the soldering iron under them and work. Many OptiVisors suffer from the same problem for me, but I do use a knockoff with lens stamped "3" which gives me a 12 to 14 inch working distance - that does work for me.
