is the enlargement of a 4x loupe enough or should I go for 6x or 8x.
I'd rather go for 4x loupe because I have seen a very good one for a decent
price. I could not find a 6x or 8x loupe to do a direct comparison.
I just want do be able to decide three things:
- - is the slide in question is good from it's composition?
- - is the exposure ok?
- - is it sharp?
To answer the first two questions a 4x loupe seems to be sufficient or even
better than others because I can see the whole slide, but how about the last?
