    Re 8X loupe - after some comparisons at a photo store, looking at
    actual slides, I chose a Mamiya 4X loupe for first looks at slides. I
    love this loupe. For the first time, I can really see the whole slide
    comfortably. 

    Apparently I do need a loupe with higher magnification for looking
    at details in the slide - to really check sharpness, look for
    scratches, etc. I have an Agfa 10X that seems pretty useless. (I used
    to be able to use it so my eyesight has probably changed.)  I wear
    glasses, -4.5 right eye, and the Mamiya adjusts barely enough to see
    clearly with my glasses on. (No go with them off.) Any commendations
