<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2890071, member: 36230&quot;]Generally speaking, 10x should be sufficient for most varieties. However, I too used to use a 16x, but going much higher isn&#039;t likely to offer much in the way of benefits or trade-offs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of what you do, though, please don&#039;t cheap out. Low quality glass is simply too stressful on the eyes, so if you&#039;re going to be using it a lot, do seriously think about paying up for something genuinely nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, and as somewhat of an aside, if you do go cheap, you should be aware of the fact that many inexpensive loupes (Chinese) are advertised as being of a different power than they really are. There used to be ones, particularly on eBay, that were offered as 10x, 20x, or 30x when really they were all the same but with a different printed-on power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
