How to Measure magnification
How can I see how strong a magnifying glass is?

I hear a lot of people talk about
magnifying and how strong the magnification is, but I would like to know the true
magnification of my magnifying glass. I have a few of them and some seem stronger then
others. How can I rate these? How can I pin a correct number on mine? How do the companies
that make these come up with these numbers.

Seems like the closest possible thing on these gun forums would be in the hunting forum or somewhere that can advise on lenses (like in scopes). Not sure the Springfield Armory forum is the right place to answer questions about magnifying lenses...maybe you'll get lucky though. B
