I started out with a basic 8x then bought a 35x and now im waiting for a GSI 200x usb HD.LED that I picked up for 39$ on Amazon .Cant wait! I'm gonna be a real scientist! But for some reason every time I look for bugs using some form of magnification device. ( having a mite issue) I always think I'm gonna look and one of those fuckers are gonna bare teeth at me and challenge me to a fight lol
