Kosmoceras Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Has anyone had any experience with the brands carried here: http://www.ukge.com/usa/Field-Lens.asp ? The prices range from around $2.50 to $50, all promising excellent optics. It looks like their top of the line models are the Ruper models made in Japan: a triplet, a dual 10X/20x model and a dual 8X/15X. There seems to be a consensus here that the Belomo Triplet is best quality for the price, but how does Ruper compare to Belomo? I use the "SilverGEO™ x10 Chrome LED Loupe" from UKGE - works very well and comes in a nice box. I would really recommend it and I like the LED for those cloudy British days .

JohnPM Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Kosmoceras, I had not considered the LED model before, but I do expect cloudy and low light conditions in the near future. Thank you for your recommendation. Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 If you have a pair of binoculars, turn them around and look through the big end; you will find that they are a close-focus (+/- 1/2") loupe. Move the subject to focus; the focus wheel will not be needed.
