Sorry 3v0, didn't realize you were making lib parts!
I think I got the same magnifier as JustDIY. It helps, but with the 0805 parts, I need a second (hand held) magnifier just to read the values! I can solder under the desk magnifier, though, don't need to read when doing that. Getting old disgusts me; both the loss of ocular focus, and recovery time after the gym!
I'm also waiting for some more SMT parts, and I've mistakenly ordered some 0805 resistors and caps, rather than the 1206s which are easy to work. Shoot! Oh well.
The whole reason I'm trying this is your fault, 3v0 - if you hadn't gotten me onto the processes I'm using now, my boards wouldn't be as good, and I'd have never tried.
