Carson MagniFold MJ-50 - LED lighted folding magnifier 2x, 4.2″ x 2.4″
Looking for a reliable magnifier that fits in your pocket yet offers genuinely useful magnification and quality lighting? The Carson MagniFold MJ-50 folding magnifier with LED light is exactly what you need. This model combines a compact folding design with 2x magnification and integrated LED illumination, making it equally useful at your desk at home, on the road, or out in the field.
Large lens, clear image, built-in light
The rectangular lens measuring 4.2″ x 2.4″ provides a generously wide field of view - particularly appreciated by those who use a magnifier for reading fine print, studying maps, working with electronics, or pursuing hobbies such as philately, numismatics, or model making.
The 2x magnification is intentionally chosen as a versatile option - it is not overly strong, so the field of view remains large and the image stays sharp without the need to carefully adjust the viewing distance. The integrated LED lighting ensures excellent visibility even in low-light conditions, without having to search for a better light source.
Compact and always at hand
The Carson MagniFold is designed to always be within reach. The folded dimensions of 5.7″ x 0.8″ x 7.7″ and a weight of just 0.32 lb (approximately 145 g) make it an unobtrusive companion in a bag, jacket pocket, or case. The folding mechanism protects the optics from scratches while allowing quick deployment into the working position. Power is provided by 3 G10 batteries, which are easy to source and offer sufficient battery life for everyday use.

- Reading labels, documents, or newspapers in everyday life
