Topic: Loupes


In the News (Mon 6 Jul 09)

  
  Going all loopy about loupes
Loupes (French for "magnifying glass) are high-quality magnifiers, originally used to help focus images on a ground glass, and later to view slides or negatives on a light table.
The Zeiss Triotar 5x loupe (the box does not mention Contax, but as it is made in Japan, it is presumably made in the same factory) comes in a cardboard box that can be turned into a protective case by cutting off the tabs on both ends.
Calumet Photo sells the exact same loupe under their own brand for a mere $149 (I actually got mine for $109 during a promotion), which is not that much more than a cheap (in more ways than price) Russian-made Horizon.
