Tools and Hardware Reviews of BelOMO 10x Triplet Loupe Folding Magnifier
Customer Review: Almost perfect! But shop for a better price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is the premiere 10x loupe for hobbyists and amateurs of all sorts, and many professionals as well. It is sturdy and the glass is clear and of a generous size. The price can't be beat either. Fortunately for us, the BelOMO seems to be available pretty regularly, from a number of sellers, which hasn't always been the case.
In my case, I think I purchased four of them at one point, and mine has since been misplaced but my kind hubby loaned me his. I have several other loupes but this one is just my favorite. It was not so long ago that these lenses could be found for $15 apiece... shop around and you should be able to find them for $20 - 25 -- do Not pay $50 unless you have a special fondness for the supplier(!) Note that the BelOMO also comes as a 7x, so be sure to look for the 10x as you are shopping.
My only complaint about this lens is that there isn't a good spot to attach a clip or lanyard. You can clip or tie some things onto a bar opposite the swing-hinge, but nothing very thick or the lens won't close.
If you haven't used a loupe before, you generally hold it very close to your eye, and then hold the object (mineral, gem, dead insect, whatever) very close to the lens, and focus by moving it closer or farther away. Good luck!
Description of BelOMO 10x Triplet Loupe Folding Magnifier
The BelOMO 10x21mm(0.85'') Triplet Loupe Magnifier has a viewing area of 0.65" (17mm), much larger than the Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet Magnifier (see the image with both loupes for a size comparison). The large 21mm (.85") 3 elements lens making up this achromatic triplet gathers lots of light to provide a bright, clear, and color correct view. The 10x power magnification provides the best magnification to depth of field ratio and is the most poplular power for a handheld magnifier. The housing and cover have a matte black finish for gem grading. Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association (BelOMA), makers of telescopes, camera lenses, and other optical components manufacuturs these loupes. Highly recommended by the Amateur Geologist. This is the lens we use all the time. Don't let this price fool you. The BelOMO loupe is a FANTASTIC buy. These are optical quality lenses, each one inspected and certified just like a camera lens, that stand on their own against the higher priced competition. BelOMO loupes are assembled using screws rather than rivets which allows them to be adjusted. Every BelOMO loupe shipped by Amateur Geologist is custom treated to prevent the screws from coming loose with usage. Don't be fooled by cheap loupes selling for nearly the same price of MORE! Many don't even tell the manufacturer. Why? Because they're cheap imports from China, Japan, Tawain or elsewhere which typically cost less than a dollar at import. If you don't know the manufacturer how can you know the quality? Is each lens tested and does it include the certification just like a camera lens? The BelOMO does. Triplet means three lenses made of different types of optical glass bonded together and designed that, together, they straighten out the light that comes into the front of the loupe lens so that it's the same when it leaves. Cheap mport triplets are just three identical pieces of glass, not bonded, that distort the image.Microscopes
