Your cart is empty.The LumiLoupe Plus series focusing loupes from Carson contain varying magnifications ranging from 5.5x power (LO-06), 10. 5x power (LO-10) and 17. 5x power (LO-15). These focusable magnifying eye loupes reveal details you've never seen before in items you look at every day. Focusable, dual lenses allow for examination of objects close up, while a transparent, acrylic base permits ambient light to illuminate your subject for bright, crystal clear viewing. The dual lens focusing system creates higher power and less distortion allowing for clear, super sharp images at multiple distances. These magnifying loupes are great for examining fine details in coins, stamps, film negatives, currencies, photography, wildlife, miniatures and so much more.

Quite good for plastic optics. The 6x magnification listed seems to be accurate, unlike many Chinese loupe seller's exaggerated claims. The LumiLoupe Plus series of Carson magnifiers have the advantage of being focusable while many of the other Carson stand magnifiers are fixed focus. Good magnification level for use with the micro print in the two cased volume Unabridged Oxford English Dictionary, the one that includes a rectangular magnifier. I can see the individual LCD pixels on my high resolution Dell LCD monitor with it. Quite large as the clear plastic base is 4.5" in diameter and lets in plenty of light. Works best with the eye as close to the lens as possible for maximum field of view and minimal distortion. In other words designed to be used as a low power loupe rather than a reading magnifying glass. This is true of almost all loupe type magnifiers. For normal book reading type magnification a lower power single lens magnifier or a Fresnel lens type page magnifier might be better unless the higher magnification of this is needed.

I have viewers with different levels of magnification for my blade work. This 17.5x is about as high power as it can be and still be useful as a hand held lense.An unexpected design element, that has been useful, is that the lense can be removed from the base. So I have free range-of-distance from the lense to the knife's edge.It took practice to use the 17.5x to interpret what I'm seeing. Usually the knife edge has a parabolic curve/distortion, but I can still make out some details on the metal.I place the knife edge under the light beam of a desk lamp, then adjust the distance between the knife edge and the lense, and between the lense and my eye. Its a challenge to keep the alignment for any length of time, but I'm getting better at it. Placing both elbows on the desk helps.My go-to lense is a 10x. It is easier to use. But sometimes I resort to this 17.5x to get a more detailed, though less practical, look at a very small section of an edge.

i've been working in photo studios and darkrooms since the early 90s, both as a student and professionally, and this is one of the nicest loupes i've ever handled. the elements are gigantic, making it really easy to use without the need to keep it perfectly centered on your pupil. also, the ability to easily focus the loupe makes it useful for objects that are not perfectly, perfectly flat (like single negatives that are slightly U-bent). the large size of the clear base is great as well, and lets in plenty of light for viewing even if you don't have a light table. this is not the classic shot-glass size loupe, it's closer in size to a small teacup.my only gripe is that the lens elements aren't glass, but the ~$11 price tag more than makes up for that. this isn't bleeding-edge high-end equipment but it's definitely worth the money for anyone involved in photography.

As above. The image is only particularly sharp right in the middle. 17.5x is decent magnification, but for about double the price you can get a much sturdier "30X Loupe Magnifier with 6 Light" on Amazon with a much, much better image.

Perfect and does exactly what is advertised. I misunderstood the process to use it for and they helped me out. The company was very understanding. I am appreciative companies like this. They are good.

I knew that this loupe was larger, but I had no idea how big that it is!! It is like a small cereal or finger bowl! Massive for a magnifier.The lens is clear and a lot of light comes in to a large field of view. I like it a lot. I am not sure about the “focus†ability, though. It does not seem to me to be doing anything by rotating the ring? I have not seen anything out of focus.It seems to be a well made magnifier and hopefully will last a while. I would prefer a glass lens, but it is what it is!

This lens, with its adjustable focus, is very handy and effective. The price is also reasonable for what you get. With this, I am able to effectively view slides on a small light table.

Well built and pretty good optics for an uncorrected loupe.I say uncorrected and it only uses spherical lens geometry so there's quite a bit of distortion and aberration as you start viewing away from the center, but this is expected. A loupe with aspheric and/or multiple elements is going to add another zero to the price.

The field of vision is very limited but good magnification. Although the sides are transparent it requires additional light for viewing
