Thanks Peter,
$200 is out of my price range. I was hoping for something at
half that price. I guess Canon is out of my price range too.
I saw that Kenko has many types of loupes but I'm not sure
about their quality. I had also thought that in order to see
the full 35mm slide I needed a 4x loupe. Anything that's more
powerful only shows a portion of the slide and should be used
for looking at fine focus. Is this correct?
