The easiest time I ever had soldering a bunch of SMDs was when I used a 
stereo microscope in the lab of the company I worked at at the time. At 
home I use something like a 4x magnifying desk lamp but when my eyes 
start going downhill in a few years I may just have to get one of those 
microscope thingies. Man that was sweet. I think Chinese/Russian made 
units aren't too crazy expensive.
