Yes that's true enough. The problem is most folks have never used truly good optics so they have no idea. That was brought home to me years ago when we used to typical B&L Binoculars for work which I always thought were great until we bought some sets of Steiners and the difference was eye opining (pun intended). With good optics the appliance seems to disappear and it's like you're seeing it with your eyes alone.

speaking of ducks, i'm so glad my permanent collection is securely protected by many a gun up in idaho
and now i don't even have to worry about the estate taxes
oh this was about optics - i'm a sucker for the good stuff and mine's leica. probably total overkill, but i can hone without touching the edge for testing, just monitoring in the scope when i get to the verge to overhone.Last edited by gugi; 12-17-2010 at 05:22 AM.

singlebarrel,
I use triplet loupes of 10, 20 & 30 x, which work fine; the 20x is what I use the most.
+1 to decent quality optics; a flat field also makes loupes a bit easier to use.
The working distance for the higher powers is a bit short, so you have to be a bit more creative to make sure you can get enough light onto the area you are looking at !
For very long sessions, a stereo microscope is less tiring and gives you much more working space !
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
