Subject: [Leica] Loupe help
From: "Gary D. Whalen" <whalen@circle.net>

    I presently shoot 35mm (Leica obviously) and 4 x 5.  I own a Rodenstock
4x loupe and a Kenko 9x (BIG mistake).  What I need help on is replacing my
Kenko.   Do I need to go to a 6x, 7x, 8x or 9x to do some fine examinations
of my 35mm.  I  am very happy with the Rodenstock 4x because it is crystal
clear and covers the entire 35mm format.  However, I want another loupe that
will cover a larger area AND have more magnifiction. Is this possible?

    I am not interested in a Schneider vs Rodenstock war, I just want to know
what magnification to go to and which brands (good or bad) people have
experience using.   Thanks.
