I just received my Optovisor from Enco www.use-enco.com. Price $22.95 plus
shipping/handling,
ordered from a sale catalog I received from them in the mail. Master
catalog shows $24.95, but
still the best price I have seen. Loupe attachment replacement lenses
also available. See Master
Later: Sale catalog is good until June 30, 2005. Sale prices seem to be
available by entering
letters FG ahead of the model # shown in catalog, ie: FG632-5310 for the
optovisor. Free
UPS shipping is also available for orders of $50.00 or more, with promo
code NRFUP55.
