I rarely speakup on opinion threads but I would like to say this:
I bought and still use a Amscope...
Went to GRS for a training class with Rex and used a Meiji...10X better than my Amscope.
Used a friends Wild(Lieca) M3Z on some Bulino and lettering (i normally use a Zeiss loupe to do bulino)...10X better than the Meiji to me.
About 700.00 more saved and I'm buying a used M3Z...Without a doubt!
The Amscope works fine for 60-70% of my stuff but I do get optically fatigued when using it for hours on end. The week I used the M3Z in was on leave from my regular job and was able to spend days cutting. NEVER felt fatigued. Was wonderfully bright and clear. Can do Bulino under it!!
In short save and buy good used equipment.
