Comments

As a 10X Zeiss this really is the best quality of all the large loupes. Whenever I get a sample of a new loupe that is meant to be "the best" I compare it with this one, then I sigh and concede that this Zeiss is still the best on the market.

I use this as a 'test' on our exhibition stand - if a customer insists on having the best but can't see the difference between this and a £4.50 loupe - it's time for them to give up and go to see their optician.

A note about the magnification. Zeiss used to quote the magnification as 6.66X with 3.33X = 9.99X combined; then they decided to name it "6.6X with 3.4X" = 10X combined. I think their customers were getting confused with all the numbers, so now they call "3X with 6X = 9X combined. It's all the same loupe!

Free Gift

Zeiss loupes don't come with a case, they are supplied in a little polythene bag. That's because Zeiss are so 'famous' they don't need to give you anything extra. HOWEVER, we have come across some leather pouches that fit perfectly and will include one with your purchase.  Limited offer, because we only have a few pouches.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • What should I buy for razor sharpening. Please recomend

    For razor sharpening, I've really no idea, I don't know anything about razor sharpening.

    For inspecting the blades of razors I know you need exceptionally good quality, so this would be about the best.
