Hi Bernhard,

I have looked at Pentax too; and you're right, it is too close to my existing
loupe. I think I will do one of two things: either spring for the 6x Schneider
ASPH loupe, or just stick with my current Horizon 10x and 4x loupes.

As for LX accessories, I would think that the big mail order outfits in New York
(B&H, Smile or Adorama) should have them still.
