Gain Express 10 x 21mm Mini Folding Illuminated Loupe Jewelry Magnifier Pocket with LED Light, for Gems Jewelry Jewelers Eye Rocks Stamps Coins Watches Hobbies Antiques Gems

A pair of GAIN EXPRESS Mini Folding Jewelers Eye Loupes (10 x + UV Light, 6 LED Lights) was purchased and received by me. It's a great device that I like and appreciate so much that I am enthusiastically giving it a 5-star rating. I give this coin a five-star rating (as a coin collector). The batteries, however, were not functional when the item was delivered. My efforts to flip and rearrange the LR927 button batteries have been fruitless. All three batteries seem to be deader than tombstones. Unlike Lazarus, they are not likely to rise again, and unlike Frankenstein's monster, they cannot be revived. So here is what I want to tell GAIN EXPRES Ship without batteries or provide live batteries as a courtesy to your customers, so as not to disappoint them and diminish (in a slightly negative way) your own reputation. They are an excellent company that deserved their reputation. It turns out that I purchased new batteries, and the loupe works just as advertised (despite one, Additionally, the loupe is very well constructed and artfully designed, so I'll surely keep it - and I hope my next purchase from GAIN EXPRESS won't be disappointed as well.

Loupe of this quality and well-made would rank fairly high in my book. It is difficult to believe that the optics are really achromatic as claimed, but on the other hand, this is a considerable expense and not necessarily necessary. The white illumination feature is quite useful, with six LEDs located around the perimeter of the product. Due to its reliance on six very weak UV sources mounted between the white LEDs, the UV illumination is poorly designed. Additionally, one UV LED is fitted to the side, however, when the loupe is held close to the eye, the UV LED is not properly focused on the inspection focal point. A design flaw is clearly evident in this instance. The loupe is really useful for inspections other than visual ones, when used in the following ways. If positioned securely against an iPhone or other smart phone camera, the loupe takes nice microphotography pictures, and it provides excellent illumination when used with the white LED illumination mode. It would normally take two hands to hold the loupe snugly against the iPhone in the proper position, and another hand to push the camera button while holding all of this just centimeters away from the specimen being photographed this is simply not possible. In order to overcome this challenge, clamp the loupe securely in alignment against the camera aperture and secure it in place while you adjust it permanently. By using several long stiff surfaces, such as wooden pencils running across the smart phone and the loupe on both sides of it, you can accomplish this task. With multiple loops attached to both ends of each pencil, rubber bands are used to bring both ends into tight contact. As a result, everything will remain in close contact for a long period of time, so you can.

An identifying mark on a coin was what I was looking for. I read a dozen reviews before choosing this one because there is such a wide range of these devices. For the majority of people, it is not necessary to use a magnifying glass higher In my opinion, this is a very good value for money, well built and has a carrying pouch that gives the item good protection against dropping.

Worked on this for a while. It's hard for me to work with large pieces with fine details. A good amount of light is available. To turn on the switch, you have to put in a little effort. Despite its small size, it has a lot of power. The device had been left on for some reason without my consent (I'm not sure if this was due to my hand or not). In addition to the batteries, I had to replace the charger. As soon as I got it done, it worked pretty fast. The light I received was nothing to write home about. It is possible to get a better quality product for the same price as the one I found.

Well, there are some things that you get for your money. A $20 magnifier cannot be expected to be worth $40 It's all right then. As a complement to my Belomo 10x Triplet product, I bought this. One thing I thought would be nice is the light feature. You may have difficulty replacing batteries. Here's some help Keep the red wire in place by taping a small piece of tape on top of the battery. After the purchase, it is a good idea to change the batteries For a limited time only, you can buy 10 for two. You can find it on Amazon for $85. Rather than returning it, I'm returning it because of the reason for the difference in price, which I'll call "ability to accumulate light. " It makes the object viewing appear brighter by nature The coin viewer is good for viewing coins. As far as my Belomo x10 triplet goes, I will just stick with it. Please take note Its price is reasonable and it is a decent loupe for the price, but the more expensive Belomo will give you more insight into the differences.

In general, the optical performance and quality of the loupe itself is very good for the price. However, I found that the batteries died in about two months (relatively infrequent use) and that what I got for replacements cost Taxes are added to the cost of 97. Some have noted that when closing the loupe, the light switch may be activated, but this did not occur to me. In order to replace the batteries, you must replace the wires that complete the connection for the lights as these are quite thin and are This new battery will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

I was about to buy the more expensive BeMo, but I wanted to give this a try since it was almost the same price (with This is definitely something I would recommend to others. The optics are clear, the ring LED is fantastic, and there is no distortion in the images (see above). My guess is that the loupe's optics are glass since it has a fairly heavy feel for its size. I will be back here for a replacement loupe if I lose this one on a trip (since I am forgetful).

Don't go using throwaways that aren't meant for something like LED lights that you are going to keep on for quite a while. As soon as the enclosed LR927s (Alkaline) run out, pick yourself up a pack of SR927s (Silver Oxide).
