Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE Triplet Jeweler's Loupe - 30X
Customer Review: Pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this loupe as a special purpose tool to have quick high magnification for things like knife edges and such. For this purpose it works well. Construction seems solid and the lens is clear. Like others have noted, the field of view is quite small, you have to hold the object very close, and your eye needs to be very close. This causes lighting issues and can strain the eye. Best to put what you are looking at on a table or in a clamp. But, I knew this going in and for pocket size high magnification for quick inspections it works well for what it is.
A more general use loupe would be 10x +/- but this one works fine for my intended use.
Customer Review: Save the extra money and get a cheaper 10x

The field of view is very small and the specimen must be very close to the lens to get a clear view of it. I'm a geology major at Sam Houston State University and I purchased this for looking at hand specimens in mineralogy class. More magnification is NOT better. Get a 10x. They have a better field of view, more of the specimen is in focus, and the sample can be further away from the lens. This 30x has to be so close to the lens that it really blocks the light. Not very useful.Customer Review: Triplet Jeweler's Loupe 30X

I was happy with my loupe, but found one I prefer so I gave mine to a young man who grows his own crystals. He is very happy!! Don't really know why I didn't care for the loupe purchased on amazon. Perhaps it might be my lack of knowledge of how to use one. Thank you for asking.Customer Review: Truly Remarkable Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I must say i am very..Very....VERY shocked at the value of this loupe, not only is the construction amazing but the optics are truly 30X. The lens is firmly seated in the housing and the case is decent enough, Not only do i give it my seal of approval i would have to say good job to amazon.com for a REAL HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT.
The only drawback that i can think of is the lack of a lighting mechanism, i would have gladly paid another 5 bucks to have that feature, but its no big deal, Jewelry television sold me a loupe 10X for 20 bucks as you can see this is a much better deal.
You are wondering then why i would give it only 4 stars, besides the non existent light i also dislike the proximity required to view an item, with no lighting the subject can get very dark quickly.
Customer Review: Very Impressed

I purchased this after reading the other reviews and noticing how cheap it was. It is truly a spectacular deal! It took a few minutes to realize just how close your eye had to be to it in order to see but after that I have been looking at everything. This Loupe is pretty much a tiny microscope. I can actually use it on my computer screen to see the individual colors that are making up the graphics, not bad! I would highly recommend purchasing one of these *at this price just to have for some random fun*!
