Comments

A standard good quality lens (not the best, by no means the worst), very popular with traders who just want 'a little bit of help with reading hallmarks' and who keep losing their loupe.

For the same reason, we sell hundreds of these to the large stores, they leave them on the counter, customers walk off with them!
