Yes its a little costly, but it really makes a difference. Its got a black sheath that is removeable which exposes the frosted inner cup. For slide/neg viewing its got a ground glass bottom adaptor (comes with the loupe) that has a neg holder. (take it out to view the slide) Its VERY bright and clear and has no edge distortion. (That I can see atleast) They are expensive... - -Mark - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Photovilla@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 6:50 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] viewing contact sheets I use the Rodenstock 6x6cm Aspheric loupe with the "transparent" skirt. I originally purchased this to view 6x6 and 6x7cm transparencies, but then I realized this was just about the greatest thing for looking closely at contact sheets. The 3x magnification is just right to see a couple frames at a time and the larger eye hole helps when you are not looking exactly strait down into it. Much easier than the 35mm loupes with higher mag. and smaller eyepiece for this purpose. Just a thought anyway, cheers, Rich
