When Marion Scoular gave a talk at our EGA meeting, she addressed the issue of magnifiers vs light. According to her, the Royal School of Needlework recommends going without magnification for even the finest work, tho a good strong light is crucial. I also remember reading about light and magnification once when I was searching for a good lamp to do fine work by, and one of the companies had a formula that gave the compensation of lumens for magnification. Unfortunately I don't recall where I saw this... it was a while ago. I also know from looking through telescopes that as you increase magnification, you decrease the brightness of the object you are looking at.
