I think it actually covers up to super slide. It is a huge peice of glass though and not something you would carry around your neck. I normally would not spend that amount of money on a loupe, but I got a deal on one. I paid around $250 Canadian, which equates to about $170 USD. My Leica dealer was getting one and said he could get me one too for a special price. Schneider is distributed in Canada by Leica Canada ( Kinderman).
