I mean one that is identified by a 5 printed on the holder. I am not really sure what it means. I didn't select it, it just came with the head band when I bought it. One has a loop on one eye that increases the magnification, but I seldom need to use it. You can focus really close to the work, but be careful of the soldering iron so that you don't burn your nose!
