Ok, Here's my 2 cents on this. A very inexpensive loupe will give you all you need to get started. Just like a Norton 4/8K will get you started honing. Then after a period of time you may find that the higher magnifications will be a helpful tool. But just like the Norton 4/8K until you learn to use it then buying a higher grade hone is a waste of money!
I'd hope that Ron will agree that to the uneducated a look through his high resolution microscope would simply baffle them as they wouldn't know what they are looking for.
With a simple 30-40X loupe someone new to honing can see if they are getting a proper bevel or is they are missing some area.
I hope this has been of some help.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.
