I came across a stock of (to me) potentially interesting loupes.
Straight off - nothing razzle dazzle about them - regular straight-forward plastic loupes but here's what I found:
I'm short-sighted with fairly moderate-heavy correction of 600 deg.
When I tried this loupe (10x ... I know, 10x is too strong for lf focusing work but I bought it for other purposes), I found that I could actually use it two ways: with or without my glasses!
With glasses and it becomes a long eye relief loupe with the loupe against the GG and I can have my face anywhere from a few inches up to more than 2 feet away, and everything's sharp.
Without glasses and I could place my eye from about 2 inches away, right up to the loupe and everything is razor sharp.
I tried my 7x Horseman loupe and while it offers me both short and long eye relief, it only works with my glasses on either way.
Has anyone wearing spectacles (myopic) every found their loupes working the way I mentioned without glasses or has the difference in magnification have something to do with it?
