Thread: Using loupe for honing

Got my BelOMO 10x loupe in the mail last week and used it last Friday. Definitely a step up from my other loupes.

All of the loupes that I have tried have the optical property of the magnification power varying with the distance from the object being viewed. I typically adjust this distance to close to the highest magnification before distortion starts being a problem.

The beLOMO seemed to deliver close to it's advertised power before distortion. The cheaper loops that I have experimented with have a laughable amount of distortion when used close to their advertised magnification

I just ordered the Belomo 10x loupe. Just under 30 bucks. Thanks, Mark. I use my scope most the time but now and then I like to pick-up the loupe. I'd rather know that what I'm using is real and not fake!
