    Thanks Donald; definitely let us know what you think! I`ll bet with the retina display and better camera on your 4S it will work nicely.

    Thanks!


    Here`s couple more in case it helps:











    EDIT: the setup you have with your I-Phone looks very nice. Especially with how easy it could be to video your issues and send them on the fly to your client.

    Indeed; that`s definitely one of the advantages, being able to document and show people exactly what problems exist as they present themselves.



    As promised, here are a couple of in-use shots. These are the same paint chip as I previously showed with the iPad (haven`t done anything with it yet), shot through the same microscope:











    Definitely nowhere near as good quality-wise.... just goes to show how far things have come since the 3GS came out. I`m sure an iPhone 4/4S with the retina display and higher MP camera would be able to match or surpass the iPad 3 camera. I`ll probably finally upgrade when the iP-5 comes out.

    I really like this. Definitely need to upgrade my IPhone (was waiting for your results) It sure beats the jewelers loop. Plus I`m always worried about it pulling my glasses off and hitting the paint. Can`t beat the documentation aspect either.

    Thanks for posting

    Awesome. I saw some of the reviewers on Amazon saying the same about it not being quite the 45x it claims, and it`s probably not.... but for $4, it`s plenty to get the job done with. I`ll be interested to hear if the 60x one is actually any stronger or not; I didn`t pick that one up.
