I've noticed that as my technical ability has improved, I moved more and more towards the microscope for the majority of my work. Now that I've reached the level that I'm doing microscopic shading and such, I find myself slowly backing away again from the scope in order to gain a realistic perspective on the piece I'm cutting.
I can't cut with the naked eye anymore. (Too many years looking through an optivisor) I do however back away and cut using the #5 or #10 optivisor for certain things.
I first noticed that the scope wasn't always better for me when cutting outlines and longer straight lines.
I'm sure I'm not alone working like this. I'm curious to learn how some of you guys work and what are the circumstances when switching from scope to visor etc. In other words, where does the scope not work for you and vice versa.
Thanks y'all!
