    I am seeking a handheld magnifer 3.5″, 4.3″, or 5″.
    It only zoon in and out and a few color changes, not many.
    No photo galary, not many features.
    Just like Pebble handheld 3.5″ original plain features what I like it very much.
    Please give me which brand and models.
    Thanks in advance.
