If Richard Oehm has a minute to spare he'd be a good one to explain this.

I used to use the regular Optacon lens a lot with LCD displays on
calculators.  I suspect a lot of modern calculators no longer use OEDs since
it takes extra power to light up an LED.  What I haven't figured out is why
the displays on so many phones these days aren't distinguishable under an
Optacon camera.

Regards,
Jerry

I have one but all the new calculators that I have won't work with it.
It is a lens with no lamps in it, and therefore, doesn't always work with
the new calculators that use ambiant light for the display.
It also has a limited size of characters for which it works best.
Personally, I haven't used it in years.
I'll look around for it and get back to the list on the issue.

Good morning list,

If anybody has a calculator lens they don't want, I would love to have it,
(probably along with just about every other user on this list!) From what I
understand, the calculator lens didn't have rollers on the bottom, but it
looked like a regular lens.

My e-mail address is at the bottom of all items I send, so you can contact
me off-list; thank you.
