<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 185844, member: 2949&quot;]I just got a new BelOMO loupe and it&#039;s fantastic! I want to recommend this loupe as a great, low cost alternative to higher priced &quot;name brand&quot; loupes. I bought mine from <a href="http://www.geo-tools.com/lens.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.geo-tools.com/lens.htm" rel="nofollow">Geo-Tools.com</a>. They had a good price on it and they shipped it very quickly. I ordered it on a Monday and got it that Thursday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is my first &quot;real&quot; loupe. I&#039;ve had a cheap knock-off before and I was previously using a 2x or 3x large magnifying glass. Let&#039;s just say that this new BelOMO loupe at 10x has opened up a whole new world to me. I can see so much more detail on my coins (some things I find are good <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , some not so good <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The loupe itself is a triplet and has very little distortion. The loupe housing is also made of all metal and has what feels to be a tough finish on it. I also got the lanyard that Geo-Tools offers which seems great with a velcro strap that surrounds the loupe to keep it held in place until you&#039;re ready for it as well as it provides a good level of protection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I just thought I&#039;d post about this because we&#039;ve had several discussions before about which loupe/magnifyer is best. Now, 10x magnification is not for everybody, but for making out doubling, die cracks, etc., it seems perfect! To make it even better, this thing cost me $19.80 with shipping![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
