Advice on buying a loupe

bcubs

Anyone have good websites where I can purchase a loupe for reviewing my cards? I'm looking for one that has a light on it if they make something like that. I saw one at a show that almost looked like a medical instrument a few years ago.

I bought mine at Radio Shack it doesnt have a light but it is 3X magnify.

I bought one similar to this (also on ebay) except it had just one Loupe. For the price you CAN'T beat it. Try it and if you don't like it just throw it away! I'm going to guess that it will do a great job for what you are looking for.

Ebay's a good place to get a loupe.

Thanks Doug!

Just ordered one. I was actually just about to post an identical post when this one popped up. Hopefully I can put it to good use before the Sun Times show in a few weeks.

I like that eye-glass design. Can't beat hands-free.

However, I would probably prefer that there be a loupe on only one eye.

The one I bought has only one loupe. HOWEVER, just put a piece of masking tape on the far end of one of the loupes and there you have it! Light lasts twice as long!

Doug,

You have this loupe? How well does it work?

Tom ... I have one similar but with only one loupe. Don't remember from whom I bought it, but it was also from Hong Kong and cost me about five bucks. It works GREAT! Very happy with the purchase. I figured if it sucked I would just throw it away. I've had it for about 2 years (just a guess) and the light just went out. It will be cheaper to buy a new one than to replace the battery!

If I were buying one I would definitely buy a 10x. How much do these go for?

CORRECTION: I just realized this was a 20x Loupe. The one I have is 10X.

Might be an item to sell from your store, If I had just bought some expensive cards a loupe would be a nice addition.

I bought 4 magnifiers and this type is my favorite.
