Some while ago there was a su*bscriber to the list who was in the
publishing or printing business. He said that he had tried many high
end loupes but had found none better than a reversed Zuiko 50/1.8 MC.
I use a reversed 50/1.4 SC and find it to be good enough for my
purposes but do wonder what the above mentioned gem would be like.
Perhaps those of you who have good loupes and a 50/1.8 MC could do a
comparison and give us your thoughts as to whether the anecdote holds
true.

I have several cheap loupes, use a B&L 10x Hastings Triplet to look
closer and then there is the microscope.......... I also have, sort
of, this amazing 'loupe' I inherited from a guy who used to do
specialized photography and processing for me. He used to be an
aerial photo interpreter in WWII and made a translucent sleeve to
hold a huge eyepiece off some piece of military equipment. Huge
flat, sharp to the edges field of view. The sleeve/stand came
unglued and I put it somewhere 'til I get around to fixing it, and
now I don't know where it is
