Cheap ones are no good. I used a Peak 8X before. Terrible (low contrast, distortion, foggy, you name it.) You ought to consider a Pentax or Schneider, or use your fast 50mm lens turned over and with aperture fully open: makes better loupe than Schneider -- the difference of 5 element vs 1 element. My opinion only of course.
