[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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.
