Question regarding level of microscope magnification

[farmer57]

Hello,
I have a question for the experienced folks here. In you opinion, what is the most commonly used level of magnification in your normal type of work (lettering, scrolls etc.). I am sure there are many opinions yet I am simply looking for a guideline to a usable, working magnification level in the common 20X, 30X etc. sort of a scale.
Thank you for any input.

I engrave with 12.5x most of the time. 17.5 x for really tight spots.
