So I'm looking for a larger box with nice lighting. Any recommendations?
I know loupes have been discussed at length, so I don't want to start a
large loupe discussion. Right now I'm using a Carson 7x plastic thing.
It's large enough to fit over an entire 35mm slide, but it's only
loupes. The inexpensive ones, while fine for a quick viewing,
and great for packing along when travelling, don't, IMO, offer enough
detail, sharpness, or comfort for long periods of viewing, to make
them a worthwhile purchase. I'd love to be shown that I'm wrong ...
