Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 5:01 pm I also use a pair of Hastings triplets by B&L. A 10x and 14 x. They are a little $$ but WELL Worth it! I was going to get a 20x as well until I found out that the area you look through is about the size of a pencil eraser. Edited by Dar 05/22/2014 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 5:23 pm I use a 5X for scanning at a show but also have a 30X for examining interesting areas. The choice is a matter of personal taste, comfort and ease of use. The Bausch & Lomb 5X is commonly used by dealers. Edited by matthewvincent 05/22/2014 5:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 03:19 am I got a free App for my Android phone "Your Magnifier" - there were several other free Apps for this purpose. It permits zoom in & out; and you can turn the light on or off; and take a photo through it. I'm hoping that this will be useful when I see something interesting when I'm out. These new phones just keep on amazing me ! Report this Post to the Staff

KurtB New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 06/07/2014 6:28 pm Actually the best ones that dealers use are made by Eschenbach Optic - made in Germany. They are far and away the best. But they aren't cheap. But like everything else, you get what you pay for. Here's a link to them at SAFE who sells them: http://www.safepub.com/sections/esc...fiers-loupes Good luck!

ebrguy New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 06/07/2014 6:43 pm I use a Carson 5x pocket magnifier with LED and a Bausch & Lomb 10X Hastings. Gets the job done for me and it didn't break the bank. About $8 for the pocket mag and $31 for the loupe from Amazon. Report this Post to the Staff
