I was looking around for a good but less expensive alternative to the
Schniender/Mamiya/etc. loupes and have been offered a possible
solution. A friend has a 7x Pocket Optical comparator he purchased and
is no longer using. the info I have is:
Three element achromatic glass lens system
Eye lens clear lens dia. is 21mm
Clear acrylic base (cover with gaffers tape or paint?)
Accepts 27mm reticles (not needed)
I had used these when I worked as a machinist, many moons ago, and
thought this might be a temporary solution. And the price is right at
$20.
Any thoughts/comments?
