Comments about Visible Dust Visible Dust Brite Vue XL Sensor Loupe 7x:

I have "mixed emotions" about this product. The first one shipped to me was defective (not assembled correctly, and the light switch would not work). [...] Consequently, the product strikes me as over-priced. ON THE OTHER HAND, it works extremely well. It provides a very well lit, direct view of the sensor. You can see every little speck of dust and remove it with your cleaning system of choice. So, I'm happy to own the product, but I wish I had paid less for it.

This loupe is VERY over-priced for what it is. The lights are bright but the housing is lightweight plastic. This is a $25.00 light at most! They put it in a fancy plastic box with foam inside. For [$] I expect a magnesium housing with rubber grip. Save your money and get something cheaper.

As many reviews mention before, this is an expensive light but does the job. My comment, however, is I was at [...] and saw a 7x LED lighted magnifier for $7 bucks and bought it wondering if it would do the job of the Dust Brite. I am happy to report that this failed miserably so my investment turned out to be golden.

A usable lighted loupe to examine sensor for dust. Works well with the other visible dust sensor cleaning products, but is designed to be used to examine the sensor before and after cleaning. Would be hard to use during the actual sensor cleaning process. LEDs are angled to better illuminate the dust particles, but I am not sure that I can appreciate this effect.

This product is great. It fires right up and you're able to see dust right on the spot.

The Visible Dust 7x loupe enables a clear magnified view of the sensor surface. A bit overpriced, for the money I would expect a cnc machined housing with rubberised coating. But, the optics are there.

Trust me, O.K. Don't but this Loupe is great, it is right on and does more than they stipulate in specs... This thing is great for jewelery, coins, stamps and very close inspection of film negatives and slides, that is if you are still a photog not sold out to digital!! Anyway, this is the best Loupe out there. Dust is a problem on digital sensors as well as dirt, dust and scratches on film.
Just get one, you will love it!!

This is an essential tool for all DSLR photographers who clean their own mirrors and sensors. And this sensor loupe is of great quality and very easy to use. I cannot think of not having this in my tool kit.

This is an essential tool for finding dust on your mirror or sensor. The bright magnification makes this an easy task.

This product makes sensor cleaning fast and frustration-free. Say goodbye to the "take a picture of the sky at f/22, download the image onto the computer, look for dust, try to figure out where dust in the image would actually be on the sensor, clean the sensor with blower or brush, take another picture to check your results, repeat process over and over..." routine. This loupe lets you see every bit of debris on your sensor and enables quick feedback after a cleaning pass. This means that you can quit cleaning when you decide your sensor is clean enough, not when frustration has broken your will to continue.

Is there a downside? Definitely. The loupe exhibits serious pincushion distortion and...kidding. The product is overpriced in relation to what it costs to manufacture but, having said this, it's worth it. I will live longer because of the frustration it eliminates when my sensor needs a cleaning.

Dust on your sensor is hard to see and takes a lot of time to clean up in postprocessing. This device is great for seeing dust or the absence of same (which is also important to know so you don't clean the sensor unnecessarily). It seems expensive for a simple device but it works so well it is worth it. I won't travel without it now.

Very impressed with its capability to light up the sensor for detailed cleaning.

I can see every visible dust in my sensor and helps me clean it better and faster. I recommend using the blower first and then checking the sensor.

Comments about Visible Dust Visible Dust Brite Vue XL Sensor Loupe 7x:

I shoot outdoors in conditions which generate alot of dust...race tracks. Since I don't have a second body I am left with changing lenses in the field.

If you plan on cleaning your DSLR sensor then you've got to get yourself one of these things.

This is the perfect companion to the Arctic Butterfly and the cleaning swabs from Visible Dust.

Right out of the box the loupe told me what I wanted to know...just how dirty is my sensor? Man it was nasty. IMHO this is the only way to know the thing is clean after using any cleaning tools.

Sure the swabs and the Butterfly are great tools but the sensor loupe is the best. It won't leave my kit at home or on the road.
