Loupe, loupes and loupes. I mostly use Rodenstock 4X asph and of course it's a good loupe. However, my R-prints are all too often out of focus. That's no surprise, but there I go and put it on paper. I think I need an 8x. Need it crisp to the corners(35mm). "Maxwell" - what price range and what sort of loupes (8x) are there to consider... I've gone through the cheaper ones and can't find a loupe to stick with. Loupes! What could be so essential! ...Also, I need a new lightbox. It helps the loupe. Something portable - the 'panel' types, perhaps there's one out there... - what about Just - smart, super mini... Does the CRI rating weigh heavily?. Any comments would be helpful. Levi
