Hi, Scott. I stumbled across your video while searching for information on what kind of magnification power I need in order to spot defects in coins. I was ready to tear my hair out with all the "10X"..."12X"..."20X"...and all the way up to "60X" or more magnification levels in jewelry loupes. Never mind "single lenses", "double lenses" and "triple lenses" that didn't mean a thing to someone like me. Thank you for making my life suddenly easier, especially with showing the difference in where one would have to hold a viewed item as well as what that viewed item would look like when using a 10X versus a 20X magnifier! SEEING the differences are so much better than just hearing the words. I'm now going to look for a 10X triplet. :) Also...SUBSCRIBED! :)

Thank you for your videos, they are always clear, concise and very informative. I will have to practice looking through the loupe with both my eyes open. Question: Does it make a difference which side of the loupe we look through?
@FDJtool10 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the praise! To answer your question: it doesn't matter which eye you use, but you do have a dominant eye and that one would be easier to use. You can tell which is your dominant eye by extending your arm and holding up your thumb. Look at it. Then close one eye and then the other. The eye with the same view as both eyes (the thumb doesn't move) is your dominant eye.

If I am looking for a 10x triplet loupe, what sort of focal point should I be aiming for? I would be using it to look at small jewelers marks that I can't see with my terrible eyes. I see a lot of cheap options on various websites but I don't want to be buying junk. Love the video by the way. I learned a lot in the short time watching it. Definitely going to save it and watch it again later. :)

OoO Piece of Candy With 10X loupes, you aren't going to have your choice of focal lengths. They are all going to focus at about 1" due to the way they are made. If that is too close you may need to look a a weaker lens.

wait where are you going Scott. come back. which triple should I buy? I want to see detail and correct coloring with no glare. I have to be able to know the gems and their colors. I need to read markings on the rings.

You should buy the triplet you can afford. We have a variety of them on our web site here www.fdjtool.com/Category/1898_1/Triplets_Loupes.aspx Get the biggest lens you can. That way you will have the biggest field of view making it much easier to see things even if there is some distortion around the edges.

Sorry, I can 't help with this. It sounds like a company has just imprinted their name on a loupe which is a common practice for advertising

DarkZombie Most decent loupes would work fine for you. I would probably try to buy at least a 10X triplet loupe. They will give a nice clear, relatively undistorted image. They start in around the $10-15 range.

I've just seen an illuminated 40x 25mm loupe on ebay for less than £2. Would it be any good?
@FDJtool11 жыл бұрын
Without seeing it, I would be hesitant for several reasons. Good high power lens are very expensive. When they get bigger, the expense rises even more. So I doubt it is 40X. Also, 40X would be nearly impossible to use. The focal length of a 25mm lens that is 40X would be in the range of 3-4mm. This means you have to hold the item 3-4mm from the lens to focus. Really awkward.
