Thanks for the tip. The Horizon 10x you mention may be the same one I
bought yesterday. The bit of glass at the bottom with the lines on it is
impossible to keep clean... I may end up removing it (it's easily unscrewed).
Also the multicoating could be better. I've noticed internal reflections when I
get the lightbox shining through the sprocket holes. But since this loupe is only
used for checking sharpness I'm not too worried. It's quite a nice loupe and
was definitely the best that the shop had on offer (I would have liked a Pentax
zoom loupe...).
Cheers,
