For Sale: LNIB 10x Loupe. I bought it online, tested it, and it's not powerful enough for me. I just ordered a 30x loupe.


Exactly what I've done, Pep, but my experience is with 10x loupe I work better on FP nibs.
I use these (5x, 7x, 10x) they have 25mm dia. lens and are very useful:

So you think I should just keep it & use both loupes as needed?
Thanks.

Oh, if you are'nt satisfied of yours no problem to sell it, my suggestion is to try that in my pict because it's very comfortable: you have both free hands and with a 25mm lens (instead of a 21mm) is better.
I've tried to post it on my digital camera, and this shot is what I see with the 10x loupe (it's an Aurora 88P fine nib, backside):

cheers.

Just so you know, if you bought the 30x off ebay (or a few other sites from what I've read) you can't depend on it to be 30x. I got one off ebay that was supposed to be 30x and it might be 15x. Its just a bit better than the 10x and 20x loupes that came with it.
