I did some research on loupe's a year or less ago and found this to be one of the best bang for buck ones. You can get lucky with the super cheap ones that are available for $5 on Amazon but the quality control is supposedly dicey.

I've used this one for about five years now. Bought it on eBay if I recall correctly.

I have a folding 10x that's small, and a cheap lighted folding 40x that's a bit bigger.
The 10X is nice, and was the more expensive. I got it from a stamp supplies dealer. Probably ran around $15-20. The 40x is handy, I got it from a supplies dealer in an antique shop. The optics are adequate. The light hasn't worked in a while, because the switch was very cheap. And I had to put a touch of Loctite on the screws because they kept coming loose. But overall, it's not bad for $7 The lighted one SGC had at their booth at the shriners in NOV was really nice. Probably 10X maybe 20? Built solidly, and it had a very nice large lens making using it easier. I'll probably spring for one of those next. For cheap light magnification a set of very cheap reading glasses with a higher number works well. Just don't use them for a long time or you might need them all the time. Steve B |

That Bausch + Lomb loupe is great. I have the same 10x... Really high quality for a pretty low price

mine is the same as Jim M ( the one on the left).
It's great for most anything and the lights make things a whole light easier. all the best, barry |
