I got a new loupe! Its a BelOMO 10x. For the price I paid, it's the bomb! $19 on Amazon! http://www.belomo.us/
Yes, I've had one for a couple of months now and have recommended them recently in a couple of different threads. I agree with you. I find it very clear and the distortion very minimal.
I just ordered one of these for my little one. I like the diameter of the lens compared to my 10x B&L.
One of the advantages of living in a large city area is the availability to find things like that all over the place for a lot less and no postage, handling, shipping, etc. Sorry to rub it in.
