Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SE Jeweler's Loupe- Double Power 10X & 20 X
Customer Review: Great Performance for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I received mine in excellent shape -- no scratches whatsoever on the glass as one reviewer found. The size of the 10x loupe is stated to be 18mm, but the glass is 15mm or a little under 5/8 inch. The size of the 20x loupe is smaller (for looking at smaller things) and is actually sightly over the stated 12mm diameter or about 1/2 inch. This size is more than adequate for looking at, for example, diamonds, but may not be big enough for geological purposes.
As far as the optical quality, I found nothing to complain about. The mechanical build quality is more than I expected for the price. If you want a bigger, more powerful loupe with a built-in LED light, even including a spare battery, you might consider the SE 30X Illuminated Jewelers Loupe. It has a plastic housing for the lens, but the illuminator works well, and the optics diameter is 7/8 inch, or about 22mm, which is more than twice the area of the larger loupe on this model. The price is a staggering $4.15.
Face it, these things are essentially free, assuming you take the free-shipping option. And you can look this gift horse in the mouth and come away smiling.
