Mantis Elite best lens for SMD work
« on: October 30, 2014, 07:46:33 am »
I would like to know what is the best lens to buy for SMD work?
Maybe someone got a spare lens that is not needed anymore :) for a good price  :-+

X4 is fine for pretty much everything. The problem with higher magnifications is the field of view is too small so it can be hard to see where you are on a board.
On my Mantis Compact, X4 will just fit a QFP144 in view.
