I just read this article
http://www.largeformatphotography.info/loupe/
and made my own loupe in about 15 minutes.....wow...it just works and works well. Completely adjustable for my own eyes as needed, just add or remove threaded sprinkler pipe. I used an old ruined 35mm Olympus lens and took out the small glass elements in the rear, about 3/4" in diameter. Plopped one in the female end of a threaded sprinkler pipe, threaded another piece on top of it and cut off enough to make the focus work and viola, bad ass loupe...and parts left over to make several more.
Thanks to the author of that article for posting, the listed email address no longer works.
