Fine Pitch Soldering...

I have one, bought it from Adafruit where they have a nice review. It works ok, but I would not try actively soldering with it. Right now I use a diopter magnifier with a built in light and it works great down to about .5mm pitch. I would eventually like to move to a boom stereo microscope, but I can't justify the $450 right now.
 
I bought one awhile ago and never used it.

I do a lot of fine pitch soldering (QFNs also) and you need
a stereo microscope to do this kind of work.

Something like this could be used for inspection but 2MP doesn't
give you a whole lot of detail.
