I read many comments on Loupes/ Lupes,... and I needed one badly.
Especially one with generous eye relief.
I wandered to several shops and tried out several manufacturers but did not have a chance to try the 6x6 cm Schneider or Leica Universal Loupes.
Eventually I purchased the last 5.5X Pentax Loupe K&S said will ever see a shelf.
I guess Pentax is not distributing these accessories anymore?
Anyway, It's one heavy chunk of glass but surely the best eye relief and great magnification for both film view and checking sharpness on the Chamonix.
On one hand I feel like I've defeated the point of a light weight set-up, but then again the 6x12 Horseman Roll film back isn't light either?
Maybe it comes down to always debating a single piece of equipment that you want to do everything with (Ex Tripods)
So,... I just wanted to get a few comments from the Forum to see what the rest of you thought.
Cheers.:D
