Edited: Just had to remove the scale glass at the bottom to have the objects close to the lens and get a proper magnification. Beautiful!

Great clear lens, especially with the LED light turn on.

I've owned quite a few loupes which I use mostly for checking film and negative quality for scanning, but also prints. This one is probably the best, and certainly the best value for money. The glass lens is very good, for a simple 10x lens, and helical focus is a nice touch that adds versatility. It is solid and well-made. The LED's are quite even and bright and very helpful for prints, and solve the usual loupe problem of your head blocking out light you need for inspection. Batteries are cheap AG9 alkaline button cells, although it uses 4 of them. Comes with a hook to fish out expired ones, inserting replacements is not too bad provided you have some dexterity and decent eyesight. The reticle is of no use to me, but it takes seconds to remove. It even comes with a simple faux-leather plastic case, which is not a thing of beauty, but is functional. Criticisms? Only that I too think a non-latching switch button might have been better, and save batteries from inadvertently being left turned on. But it's obvious when the LED's are on!

Excellent

Ger Disney känsla i julgranen.

Lupa de ampliación variable, con muy buena iluminación, para cualquier uso. En mi caso, principalmente para revisar negativos y diapositivas, aunque puede utilizarse para muchas otras cosas. Con una construcción muy cuidada, lupa de cristal, un giro del ocular con una dureza significativa pero muy correcta para encontrar la ampliación necesaria y para que se mantenga ahí. El precio también es muy correcto teniendo en cuenta su calidad.
