John,
YMMV, but I have found the "big round magnifyers" to be a total pain in
the
ass. Always in the way of something, no matter what position its in. My
eyes
are terrible in close, so I wear a pair of 4X magnifying glasses and use a
strong light. Works well for me for tying down to 26's.



I wear 3.5 (diopter?) reading glasses....the kind that sit down on your
nose like granny glasses. Its easy to look over them when I'm hunting for
stuff, and simple to look through them when I'm tying. I guess thats why
librarians wear them.

But I'm very careful to not be seen by SWMBO when I'm tying anything smaller
than a #12.
