"I wish I could figure out how to get better pictures of what I can see with a loupe."
Try this, I've tried numerous ways and this is easy when you get the hang of it.
I use my phone... I put the 2.5 plastic eye held loupe directly on the back of the camera and I hold it there between my forefinger and middle finger. Then I zoom in a bit to loose the black border and let the camera focus beyond the lens of the loupe.
This weekend I bought a B&L eyeglass loupe and within 2 days it broke. The arm that holds the lens folded right off so I tried a new method just for the heck of it and it's new favorite method. This loupe is 5X and it has a perfect short focal length, and no black border to zoom around!
I added pics.
Sorry I didn't mean to hijack the thread, if people are interested I can post a topic on it.
