Hence the reason you opt to use a very expensive camera and even more expensive lenses. 8-o Interesting point you make. You just use a loupe to judge an image. If that's the case just use a magnifying lens.

Well, if Maxwell had marketed his stuff better, there wouldn't be any question now, would there? And from what I understand, there's a manufacturer in Germany - Wetzlar in fact - who makes an even better loupe. And what's the price of the Maxwell? I paid $99 for my Schneider. And for judging slides, I don't need the best, if it's better than I need, just something good enough. :-) I don't sit around admiring my photos via my loupe. I just use it to judge the image.
