I use this to focus my 4x5 camera. don't cheap out on a good loupe i have suffered from bad focus for a while until i tried another loupe from a friend. this is as big and bright. 4x is just what you need. i am giving it 4 stars only because the nick strap is not good. this is an expensive piece and requires a secure strap. it is light, but a comfortable strap would be better.

I rely on this loupe for viewing my black and white negatives. It gives me a crystal clear image. I would highly recommend it.

This is a nicely designed loupe with excellent optics. However after owning it for just a month or two the cord broke and there is no way of reattaching it in the same way that it was originally supplied. So, overall, I'd have to say that for the price the construction is below par.

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.
The Schneider 4x Loupe is a universal magnifier of high resolution. The image it produces is distortion-free even at bigger viewing distances, eliminating eyestrain. It has an interchangeable base for viewing both proof sheets and photographs.
