Rated 4 out of 5

Good glass, but limited diopter adjustme

The glass is good -- sharp, contrasty, with low geometric distortion and low fringing. If you have 20/40 or better eyesight (or have contacts), you'll be *very* happy. Otherwise, you'll do best with the old Contax/Zeiss or Cabin. For the near-sighted, the shrouds don't let you get close enough to the subject, and the adjustment range, while perfect for adjusting to subject texture, is too small to correct eyesight. The image is tack-sharp with glasses, but then you'll have trouble seeing the whole frame of a 6x7 w/o risking clinking your glasses against the objective -- 6x6 is doable. The plastic is good/light, but still plastic (though in 10 years I'll probably wonder why I ever worried about it).

About Schneider 3x Magnifying Loupe Covers 7cm x 7cm

Incomparable . . . matchless . . . unsurpassed! Absolutes like this can rightfully be applied only to the superlative performance of Schneider loupes. Why? Because Schneider uses only precision-ground, multi-coated optical glass lenses and never ordinary glass! These lenses ensure maximum edge-to-edge sharpness, high resolution and contrast, and an image free of distortion and color fringing.

These New Generation magnifiers have been redesigned to provide an accurate image over a larger eye-to-loupe distance range. The neck strap assembly has been redesigned as well in order to provide a stronger, more secure attachment. In addition, focusing is now free from cord twisting and the base is specially designed to prevent damage to negatives and slides.

Every Schneider loupe delivers excellent image fidelity for precise evaluation of slides and negatives. In addition, the 4X, 6x7, and 6X ASPHERIC loupes each come with interchangeable translucent and opaque bases, ideal for viewing contact sheets as well as transparencies. High contrast and lack of flare also make Schneider loupes perfect for focusing on the ground glass of large-format cameras.

This 3x loupe's large viewing field of 7x7cm offers excellent edge to edge sharpness with absolutely no distortion. It is also ideal for checking large format films. It has an interchangeable base for 6x7cm transparencies and negatives.
