Review: Does a good job replacing the vintage Agfa 8X Lupe - The Archive uses a number of loupes spread around the facility. Our loupes seem to have legs as they are always wandering off and getting lost. So we are in need of a constant supply of high quality budget priced loupes. Clean vintage Agfa 8X Lupes are getting very hard to find, so we were in search of a replacement loupe to adopt. The vintage Agfa 8X Lupe was probably the best budget priced loupe ever made. (Note: Agfa spells loupe as lupe) The vintage Agfa 8X Lupe was the standard for loupe excellence in the graphic arts industry in the 1970's - 1980's and beyond. And note, the modern day Agfa Lupe is not the same optical quality as the vintage model. Many of the competition's loupes need to be screw focused or raised off the subject to focus them. Some of the loupes work better if you use them upside down. Others won't yield a sharp image no matter what position they are in. There is a wide range of budget priced loupes out there and they are all different as to sharpness and field of view. The vintage Agfa 8X Lupe image is sharp when you put it flat on an object and focus is perfect as-is. An issue with some of these adjustable loupes is; even if you adjust the focus it wont stay put. The focus is loose as a goose. Also important is the Agfa's wide field of view which makes it easy to use, which is especially important for cine' film work in the Small Gauge Film Archive. When using a loupe in the wet darkroom for process camera work you needed a loupe that was fast to focus, didn't need adjustments and could be gripped with a wet hand. The vintage Agfa Lupe fit the bill perfectly. The Carson LumiLoupe 10X Stand Magnifier #LL-10 is a suitable budget priced replacement for the vintage Agfa 8x Lupe. It has very good sharpness and wide field of view. I'd judge it about 90% or more as good as a vintage Agfa 8X Lupe. Before we adopted them in the Archive I purchased 3 of the Carson LL-10's to test...all 3 were the same high quality view when it came to sharpness. Although the ergonomics are not as good as the Agfa 8X Lupe, the Carson has an indentation that allows for some grip control. But if you don't hit the indentation it can slip out of your hands due to its slope design. Before settling on the Carson LL-10 we tried 14 other budget priced loupes and magnifiers. None could compare to the Carson LL-10 for all the qualities we needed in a loupe. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Review: Compact and Clear Magnifier for Close-Up Work - The Carson LumiLoupe 10X Stand Magnifier is a fantastic little tool for anyone who needs a closer look at fine details. Its 10X magnification is incredibly clear, allowing me to see even the tiniest features on coins, stamps, or intricate crafts. The 1.0-inch lens is the perfect size for portability while still providing a wide enough view for comfortable use. The clear base design lets ambient light in, ensuring excellent visibility without the need for additional lighting. It’s lightweight and sturdy, making it easy to hold steady over your subject. This magnifier has been a game-changer for my hobbies and small repair work, and the price is unbeatable for the quality. Whether you’re into collecting, crafting, or just need help with small print, this is a reliable and practical tool to have on hand. Highly recommend! ## Features - Pre-focused dual lens loupe for close-up viewing - 10x power stand magnifier | Transparent Acrylic base lets in lots of ambient light - Great magnifying loupe for jewelers, watch making, photography, printing, geology, biology, electronics, coin and stamp collectors, crafts and hobby - Lens Diameter: 1.0 inch | Base Diameter: 2.0 inch - Item Dimensions: 2.0 inch x 2.0 inch x 1.75 inch | Weight: 1.4 ounces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CAHCQS | | Brand | Carson | | Brand Name | Carson | | Color | Black/Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,881 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00750668001757, 04250138223390, 05705557042880 | | Included Components | LED | | Item Dimensions L x W | 1.75"L x 2"W | | Item Type Name | LumiLoupe Pre-Focused Stand Magnifier Loupe | | Item Weight | 1.4 ounces | | Lens Material | Acrylic | | Magnification Strength | 10 x | | Manufacturer | Carson Optical, Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | LL-10 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | At carson, we manufacture only the highest quality binoculars.

However, you will need some way to illuminate the negative from below. I use a light table that I made myself many years ago. It is just a wooden box with a white 1/4 inch plexiglass top. Inside the box are two fluorescent lights. I use the box with the Lumi-Loupe to examine slides and sometimes negatives. You can search Amazon for "light table" and find some ready-made solutions. They make some tables that use LEDs and I might even buy one of them myself as they are more compact than my current set-up! Good luck! **Q: Does the glass/plastic base unscrew?** A: The glass/plastic base does not unscrew. It is rather like looking for a more definite detail when viewing this unit. The way a diamond dealer would look for any minor to major crack or deminisce in a diamond per say. **Q: Does it work good for reading coins?** A: Tom the problems I had when I tried using it to read coins is its pretty hard to put enough light on the coin without having to lift the magnifier off the coin. Then you're field of vision is even lower, if that's possible. For example, reading the date on a dime, and you can appreciate how small the date field is on a dime, I found myself having to use a flashlight (LED hi beam of course), lifting the Carson scope slightly, and moving it slightly in order to read the entire date. It drills down just that precisely. Now I could put the entire date within its field of view, but to read against the glare I found myself shifting it slightly so that I could read the whole date while minimizing the glare...If I had not purchased it, and know what I now know about this lumiloupe, I would shop around for something perhaps a little better. Now the 5x scope, it was 5 times the size of this 10x, and it zoomed in quite well, but again it was only 5x magnification. I would find another 10x with a larger base dimension. Hope this helps! **Q: would this be a good magnifier to look for bugs on my plants? If not, please suggest alternative.** A: I bought it to see some small prints in dictionary for example, and negatives ( old ones). For looking at small bugs like aphids and mites, it should work fine. Bigger ones would be too scary. You have to get very close. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does a good job replacing the vintage Agfa 8X Lupe *by D***. on July 31, 2021* The Archive uses a number of loupes spread around the facility.
