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?

Ken,
For the money consider the Hakuba 7x AC loupe. B&H sells it for $69.95.
I find many of the Hakuba products to be a very good value for the money.
What you want is a loupe that has both a transparent and solid/opaque stand.
The solid is to maintain the light only projects from the bottom through a
transparency, with the clear allow light to filter infrom the sides to view
a
print. You may consider the Pentax 5.5x loupe. It comes with a transparent
stand
for viewing prints and the opaque stand is an extra $10 but Pentax optics
are usually very good. The combo is still less than the Canon by about $50.
