ZEISSAplana Tabletop Achromatic Folding Magnifying Glass 3x/6x/9x

delivered fast and safely; dual lens loupe is very handy. 10x loupe was recommended for examining small items, and they are; but a 3x and 6x for a combine x9 also provides more varying magnifications to view larger areas then more lenses to examine finer details. real small size, light plastic yet sturdy for ease of use and carry. excellent functionality, amazing clarity; aplanatic and achromatic.

I’m old enough that reading fine print with just my glasses is a problem. I’ve tried several magnifiers with marginal success. I’ve had this product for a few months now. It has been perfect size and weigh to carry in my pocket all the time. Having 3 powers of magnification is also great. Very much a quality product in every way. Very happy with this purchase. Worth every penny.

Love this... only thing to mention is it's a little larger than most loupes and a tad awkward to carry to shows.

I purchased quite a few expensive loupes to test to see which would be best for hand engraving. I tested the following loupes10x Zeiss6x Zeiss3x/6x/9x ZeissEschenbach 10xSchneider "L2" Diamond 10xThis Zeiss 3,6,9x loupe is by far the best of the bunch. It’s the flattest, clearest, lowest level of glare, zero distortion etc. The 6x Zeiss is just as good but you only get the 6x option so it’s a bit more limited. This Zeiss loupe was easily better than the top of the like 375$ Schneider geology loupe which had a lot of glare and was a bit distorted/ not as clear and flat at the edges. I’m very happy with the purchase and returned all the others.The photos which I included in my review are of a work in progress on a titanium watch dial face. Hopefully this can show the crisp clarity and the level of zoom. Shown non magnified, at 3x and at 9x. It’s even clearer in real life than the photos. Also a great size unlike the Zeiss 10x which is crazy small, the glass is smaller than a dime. You won’t notice the difference much between 9x and 10x.See the last photo for the working distance and other info included in the loupe manual.I normally don’t spend the time to write reviews but this was worth the time. If you need a top of the line loupe for any reason this is the one to get.

The quality of this Zeiss pocket magnifier is excellent. It arrived via USPS packaged extremely well.

I'll let my headline tell the story of the flawless images this Zeiss loupe renders. And here I'll just comment on the plastic case. My first thought was that a metal case would be better, and that plastic was a compromise, but now I feel it's the other way around. This case reassuringly snaps shut to make a dust proof seal. It's light in the hand. I have loupes with metal cases too. This design is better in every way, except perhaps if you back over it with your car. Zeiss has been making their loupes with this design for a long time, and they know what they're doing. I would unhesitatingly recommend this to a friend.

I have had two of these and would not want to be without one. Clear images to say the least. Also think this is an excellent value for outstanding optics.
