When you are bracketing you probably only change
exposure and not the focus. Therefore, what you want
to find is the correct exposure of multiple slides. In
that case I suggest a 4x loop because it allows you to
see the whole frame which makes it easier to judge
exposure. Also you will see the imprint date. If you
want to judge focus you should chose a higher
magnification.
I often use a relatively cheap very high magnification
loup. This loup shows distortion and it is not very
sharp at the edges. But then I usually only
concentrate on the middle and move the loup the
different regions of interest. It works quite well for
me. Actually, I also have a 4x loup but hardly use it.
Most of the time I judge exposure and composition with
my bare eyes and then check focus with the high
magnification loup before I scanning.
