I never thought that the Optacon 2 had the image quality as the 1, never
wanted one and stand by my old 2.

I agree with you about the optacon II. I did use it extensively, but the
images were never quite as clear which is why, I will probably only look
into repairing my older machine. I really need to get off my duff and get
that done because I really do miss the optacon for so many things.

Bob,
To partially answer your camera question, I have a magnifying lens made of
metal--heavier than a regular camera, but I don't recall ever seeing a
standard camera of metal.
I've also voiced issues about the Optacon II on this list in the past. I
always found its images to be mushy, and the decreased number of rows on the
array took away important details about letters with downstrokes. Bottom
line is that this second generation machine incorporated design compromises
that made it less well suited to my reading needs, and I had some buyer's
remorse over it.
Regards, JH
