Hello repected photographers,
I ask this question only out of interest. I have no intention of insulting the f ine photographers that take the time and care to produce magnificent shots with their abilities. As an amateur photographer I have been examining the possible a cquisition of a good quality loupe. Since the idea has become prevelant in my mi nd I have read a great deal about the options available on this site. I went ahe ad and bought 4+ dipotic glasses at a local drug store after considering and tes ting the options. I managed to talk a local photo store into letting me step out side and test a Schneider loupe against my cheap drugstore glasses. Of course th is is purely a subjective opinion but I found myself much more comfortable with the glasses than using the loupe. Also I found it much easier to focus in the co rners during broad daylight with my Super Angulon 90 mm as well as my Voightland er 150mm. In summary it was easier to place the glasses over my eyes ( I don't n ormally wear glasses)and focus than it was to use a loupe. So my question is...W hy do you use a loupe and what am I missing ?
