<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1886779, member: 112&quot;]You can argue the benefits of buying expensive loupes if you want, but a cheap one is definitely not going to ruin your eyes. The things aren&#039;t like a pair of glasses, you aren&#039;t wearing them all the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Myself, I have two that I use and have for years. One is a Bosch &amp; Lomb 5x Packette which is what I consider to be among the best there is for general use. It has the largest field of view of all the pocket or neck loupes, decent quality lens, lens is protected when closed, and it cost all of $8. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other is an Electro-Optix 10x with a built in push button incandescent light - the best kind of light for viewing coins - and decent lens. And it came with a protective case which is small enough to carry in your pocket. Cost - $10. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point is you can spend a lot of money on a loupe, but it is most definitely not necessary. You can get perfectly serviceable and functional loupes for not much at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
