For the money, the is a fairly decent magnifying glass. Don’t really expect it to be thirty power, though. It is more or less ten power as far as I can figure by comparing it to several expensive Hastings triplets I own.
Where they got the “approximately 30x” from is anyone’s guess unless they were trying to rate the thing by area magnification as opposed to linear magnification. In this case they got the formula wrong.
Magnifiers are usually rate linearly, in that a 2x magnifier should make a one inch line appear two inches. This is the same as binoculars and other magnifying instruments though there is some kind of convention, I believe, of a standard ten inches with reading glass magnifiers.
Whatever–the thing does have glass lenses as far as I can tell and it comes in a nifty little plastic box. It is a great little lens for a geology student or a nature buff and, at the price, makes a novel little gift.

This is a good little magnifier at a terrific price, but it is not 30x, and I don’t know why it says it is. I have two other loupes, one that’s 10x, and one that has both 15x and 20x, and this one seems to magnify a little better than the 10x. So, if you need high power, this isn’t the magnifier you want. It is very easy to use, with a nice large diameter viewing area, and worth the price, but beware if you need higher power.

Nice lens but not really 30X. I have a 20X and this one magnifies not even close to 20X. It looks like this is just a 10X like the other reviewer says.

Recently purchased this loupe, as an addition to another one I have. It is not the same quality, is made in China, magnifies, but not as well as other loupes I’ve used. However, it is better than nothing and more inexpensive than my other loupe. Just okay, but not great. Worth the price…

The loupe looks like used, but it was posted as NEW item. The lense is slightly chipped. I am not a jewelry expert, so I am not planning to return it. But would be appreciated if the seller didn’t lie about the item condition.
