10x Foldable Pocket Magnifier Loupe with UV and LED Light for Jewelry, Rocks, Coins, and Antiques - Illuminated Magnifying Tool for Eye, Stamps, Watches, Hobbies, and Gems

Pleasantly surprised!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------21July'18 Update:I acquired a Bausch & Lomb 10x Hastings triplet loupe for direct a-b comparison, and my verdict, after extensive trials is that there is very little to no difference in image quality.Sometimes the this $17 unit seems a tad better, sometimes the B&L seems a tad better - you have to hold both units EXACTLY the same way and look at exactly the same, tiniest details you can find to even have a chance of seeing any difference.I would say this inexpensive lighted unit is easily 98 - 100% as good as the B&L. The B&L is smaller and lighter - since it doesn't have lights, batteries and switches etc - and sometimes that makes it a bit easier to use, IF you don't need the light just then.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I don't have a Zeiss, Nikon, or B&L loupe to do a direct comparison, but just using this alone, the image looks very sharp; with a wide, flat field of view - essentially all the way out to the edge!No color fringing that I see.(I will do a comparison with a pricey loupe first chance, and update this review).Magnification appears to be a full 10x. Any more power, I'd rather use a microscope.The 6 white LED's are definitely useful...AND (huh?) the unit is better than described, in that 7 UV led's are fitted, not 1 as stated in the description and other reviews; 6 around the periphery of the lens, and one off to the side. Go figger.The build quality looks good; the unit seems heavy and solid, and opens with a stiff, viscous feel - which makes it easier to use. Does NOT look at all like it will fall apart anytime soon, as has been stated elsewhere - so the problems there must have been dealt with.Even the leather case is decent enough to be useful and desirable, looks like it might have a reasonably long life....and delivery was FAST....Recommended!

Good clear magnification, well made leather case. Good for coin collecting or looking at really small things.

Perfect clarity. Just as described. The LED light works phenomenal. Great value, high quality and love that it comes with a leather case for storage.

The optics and illumination are top-notch, but the edges of the metal were not completely deburred and softened. As a result, I received a small cut. The case is also very good.

Great magnifier. Light is great. Perfect for examining hearing aids, which is what we use it for to help my in-laws. Compact, great magnification. I may order a couple more just to have around the house and shop for other things.

I got this loupe to look at my fountain pen nibs. This is an extremely nice loupe. Sorry this review is a little wasted because I am not an expert about these loupes. The magnification is real good. It is small has uv/ led lights. Be sure to switch off after using. Comes with a leather case, which is worth the price. Better than some I have bought a while back. I believe you will get good results.

Product is great. Love the bright light and the UV Light.

I find the choice of different lights you can see depending on what you need at the time of inspection of the Diamond is most important features to have as a tool when deciding if the stone is fluorescent or to see the quality in close observation. Good quality is a must have. I rate it five stars
