A 35mm camera lens is a 7X loup. You divide the focal length into 250 for the magnification number. Granted, it doesn't get the whole slide (the 90mm lens will do it but at a lower magnification) but---I get an old 50mm camera lens from a flea market for about 8 bucks and use it for the above. It certainly beats the cheap Agfa thing. Ed
