I've been using a 50mm lens. I got a mechanically unuseable (for
photography) f/1.4 screwmount from someone here on the list (for free?).
The 1.4 allows me to see the entire image at once, whereas my f/1.7 didn't.
Probably not the best loupe, and certainly not something I'd go out to a
customer with, but the price was right for home use. Besides, sometimes it
pulls double duty on the end of the lens for a macro shot.
