Product Description:
The BelOMO 10x21mm(0.85'') Triplet Loupe Magnifier has a viewing area of 0.65" (17mm), much larger than the Bausch & Lomb Hastings Triplet Magnifier (see the image with both loupes for a size comparison). The large 21mm (.85") 3 elements lens making up this achromatic triplet gathers lots of light to provide a bright, clear, and color correct view. The 10x power magnification provides the best magnification to depth of field ratio and is the most poplular power for a handheld magnifier. The housing and cover have a matte black finish for gem grading. Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association (BelOMA), makers of telescopes, camera lenses, and other optical components manufacuturs these loupes. Highly recommended by the Amateur Geologist. This is the lens we use all the time. Don't let this price fool you. The BelOMO loupe is a FANTASTIC buy. These are optical quality lenses, each one inspected and certified just like a camera lens, that stand on their own against the higher priced competition. BelOMO loupes are assembled using screws rather than rivets which allows them to be adjusted. Every BelOMO loupe shipped by Amateur Geologist is custom treated to prevent the screws from coming loose with usage. Don't be fooled by cheap loupes selling for nearly the same price of MORE! Many don't even tell the manufacturer. Why? Because they're cheap imports from China, Japan, Tawain or elsewhere which typically cost less than a dollar at import. If you don't know the manufacturer how can you know the quality? Is each lens tested and does it include the certification just like a camera lens? The BelOMO does. Triplet means three lenses made of different types of optical glass bonded together and designed that, together, they straighten out the light that comes into the front of the loupe lens so that it's the same when it leaves. Cheap mport triplets are just three identical pieces of glass, not bonded, that distort the image.

Rating: - Great loupe for coins!
A great value.Low distortion, large field of view.High quality, on par with the leading manufacturer, but at a lower cost.10x is a good magnification for coin details.Made in Belarus (thus the name).Solidly made.
Rating: - Great field of view
As a manufacturing engineer, I appreciate good equipment.This loop has excellent clarity and very little distortion.It's also heavy compared to Bausch & Lomb's loops.One disadvantage is that it does not have a place to attach a neck chain.

- The Belomo 10X Triplet- Two Years Later...
I use my Belomo loupe for nusmismatics, art and antiquities.
As others have said- shop for a better price. Unfortunately, the early days of $13 Belomo's are gone. Still, even at todays prices, there isn't a loupe at this price point that's anywhere in the same universe as the Belomo. Matter of fact, there are loupes that cost twice as much that are arguably inferior to the much cheaper Belomo.
I now use my Belomo loupe more than I do my (much more expensive) Nikon. Why? ... Read More
Rating: - Look Closely!
I wanted a handheld magnifier for plant and insect identification and this loupe exceeds my requirements.The field of view is quite good and the casing is well constructed.It is a good value at going prices!
Don't let the pictures fool you: loupes like this one are still ridiculously small and often seem to disappear in your daypack.Consider purchasing this loupe with one of the optional clip-on neck lanyards (sold by Amateur Geologist) to keep it at hand.
Rating: - You see it all with this loop!
I acquired this loop to take a close look at jewelry, artwork, etc. You will no longer be fooled by fakery. Through this BelOMO 10X Triplet Loupe I can see all I need to see up close and personal. It is very clear with a large viewing area. Great for the price I think.
