Magnifier Carson HF-25, 2x magnification, 11 cm lens diameter, black

Carson HF-25 is a handheld magnifier offering 2x optical magnification with an 11 cm (110 mm) lens diameter. Designed in black with compact overall dimensions of 222 × 152 mm (W×D) and a package weight of approximately 218 g, this magnifier is intended for reading small print, inspecting photographs, and for hobbies and crafts requiring light-detail work. The product family includes the MagniFree™ concept — a hands-free hanging magnifier with an adjustable cord and an integrated 3.5x bifocal spot lens for higher-detail viewing when needed. Supplied individually, bulk packaging options are also available.

Advantages

The HF-25 combines a wide 110 mm objective lens for broad field viewing at 2x magnification with a dedicated 3.5x bifocal spot for close-detail tasks. Its lightweight construction and compact footprint make it easy to hold or to position for hands-free use using the adjustable cord. The black finish provides a neutral, low-reflective surface that helps minimize visual distractions during inspection or reading. The inclusion of both full-lens and spot magnification supports a range of visual tasks without the need to swap tools.

Suitable for

• Reading small print in books, newspapers, labels and manuals
• Inspecting photographs, stamps and coins
• Hobbies and crafts such as model making, knitting and jewelry design
• Light-detail repair work and assembly tasks requiring both hands
• Educational and classroom use for visual demonstrations

How to use

Hold the HF-25 with the main lens positioned over the area to be examined for 2× magnification. For finer detail, align the subject with the smaller bifocal spot to obtain 3.5× magnification. When both hands are needed, attach and adjust the cord to suspend the magnifier at a comfortable working distance and angle. Adjust your working distance slightly to achieve the sharpest focus for either the full lens or the bifocal spot.

Usage recommendations

Use in well-lit conditions or with supplemental lighting to optimize clarity; avoid direct glare on the lens. Keep the lens clean and store the magnifier in a protective sleeve or case when not in use. For prolonged hands-free tasks, verify cord tension and positioning to reduce movement and maintain a stable viewing plane.
