Title: Does a good job replacing the vintage Agfa 8X Lupe
Review: 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

Title: Good, NOT Great
Review: For the price, this is a useful item to have in your kit. I bought mine based on an online recommendation, for use in focusing a DSLR camera for nighttime sky shots. It’s a reasonable size, is light-weight, and was CHEAP. That said, I have two primary gripes:1) When viewing a flat surface, my loupe is out of focus; it must be raised off the flat surface being examined by 3 or 4mm in order to focus on the flat surface under the loupe. This is probably a desirable trait if you’re interested in examining a 3D object like a coin or insect, but it doesn’t work well for me and my intended use. A variable focus (by for example turning the eyepiece) would be a significant benefit in this regard, but the Carson does not have this feature.2) Focus deviates as you look further from the center of the field of view. For a cheap plastic lens, this is totally expected, and this effect is reduced if you move your eye closer to the eyepiece. Not a deal-breaker, but worth mentioning.I’m going to try adjusting focus using some cardboard shims – we’ll see if I’m successful.All that said, for the money, it’s a worthwhile piece of equipment for your kit.

Title: Compact and Clear Magnifier for Close-Up Work
Review: 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!

Title: Good magnification.
Review: This loupe seems to be well made. I found the image somewhat distorted around the edges, but the center is clear. My coworker is very pleased with the clarity and ease of use.For those comfortable with loupes, this product works quite well. If you are less comfortable with them, the distorted edges make this particular loupe harder to use than a model with less magnification.

Title: Looks big
Review: This is a great tool. How many times have you looked for something so small it was hard to see. You ladies know what I’m talking about. This can make anything look bigger even if you only need it for a one night stand.
