<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tanton, post: 2781019, member: 85554&quot;]Haha I couldn&#039;t think of a way to say that nicely as a new &quot;uneducated&quot; member without sounding rude.. Getting taken seriously has been one of the hardest parts so far. Between nobody I&#039;m close with understanding, and dealers I&#039;ve gone to trying to take advantage of me, I&#039;m just trying to find some honestly/reassurance in what I suppose would still be considered a &quot;hunch&quot;. I&#039;ll spend anywhere from 2-12 hours a day on the stuff so but In my mind I just have to find one gem that makes it worth it (I do also genuinly enjoy it but I have to justify spending hours alone looking at &quot;pennies&quot; to my family somehow haha).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re asking about loupes/magnification, my grandmother gave me my grandfathers &quot;Swift Model 777 monocular with 25x close focusing lense stand&quot; as well as a smaller Bausch &amp; Lomb 7x loupe. Trying to work on getting better photos from my iPhone but I still need more practice...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
