johnstac Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 5:58 pm I thought I was going to be excited about this but it has left me a little less then enthused. I was expecting it to be a little......well, larger. Closed, this tiny loupe can easily fit within the tip of my index finger. Honestly, I can barely see through it the lens is so small. It's 1/4 the size of my 10x. I don't know. I guess I will play with it and see if it will grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 7:16 pm I bought a similar B&L loupe and I hate it for the same reasons. Picked up a cheap $4 20X loupe at a flea market on vacation this past spring and it works great. It is about the size of a half dollar. Should have made the guy an offer on his entire stock and sold them here. Report this Post to the Staff

mattbrowning7 Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 09/08/2010 09:45 am John, Is it the 14x hastings triplet? I have that one. It is at first difficult to adjust to. What do you plan to use it for? 14x is a bit more than general examination calls for. Report this Post to the Staff
