Carson LO-10 11.5x LumiLoupe Plus Focusing Stand Magnifier Loupe

Came next day! so put to use at once.Very well built and optically sharp.The x10 loupe is great but this as the added bonus of being able to adjust the focus, which is great if the item you place it on is not totally flat.Plus you can always use free hand on any given object.10/10

Good loupe. Obviously a fairly small field of focus at this magnification (17.5x) but the loupe seems good quality and the adjustable focus ring makes it easier to use. Usefully, this top piece actually screws right off the clear wide base, so you can still look at things where the base might stop one getting in close enough.

Very compact, great quality, excellent magnification, especially for stamps. Examining larger areas (e.g. photos, engravings, maps etc.) might benefit from less magnification and a wider base.

Super clear, fantastic that it's adjustable for focus. It is wider than I had anticipated (my fault for not reading properly) which won't be an issue for looking at negs but might be trickier for looking on the ground glass of a large format camera - not sure it will get into the corners well.

I did like the idea of a moveable lens but it didn't work, as the image was difficult to get in focus.The 7x magnification one was a better purchase.

This is a great little item, especially when you need to do a bit of pixel peeping on the back of your camera to make sure focus is spot on.

Really has to be used with a powerful light, e.g. very bright torch etc.

Does exactly what I want it to. I often print off A1 drawings at A3 size. With my aging eyes it can sometimes be a strain read the writing. This has already proved useful even though I've only had 1 day. :)
