Well, as someone who has tried a bunch of loupes, I can say with certainty
that the image through a Schneider 6x Aspheric is larger than the image
through a 5x EMO Macromax, and the image through a Peak 7x Anastigmat is
larger than the image through that 6x Schneider, and the image through an
8x Canon loupe (their expensive one; they also put their name on a cheap
plastic one) is larger than the image through that 7x Peak, and the image
through a 10x Schneider loupe is larger than the image through that 8x
Canon.
