My maine loupe is the Schneider 6x, which was the strongest one I could find that also covered the entire 35mm format. I use it to look at slides on the light table and also sometimes negatives. Occasionally, I take my Horizon 10x loupe, but it does not cover the entire negative or slide. Nathan "Gary D. Whalen" wrote: > I presently shoot 35mm (Leica obviously) and 4 x 5.
