I was under the impression that the quality of the high magnification loupe
was not as critical as the quality of the 4x loupe for 35mm. The 8x
Agfalupe is very popular, and it is very cheap. I think this is because
with the high mag you don't care what happens at the edges, you're
inspecting the center of the loupe anyway. Anyone have any other thoughts
(I use a Fuji 4x and the Agfa 8x, BTW, and I've been happy)?

Subject: [Leica] Loupe help
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?
