That's indeed an excellent loupe, although I'd note for anyone considering it that it seems to be exceptionally sensitive to the position (both centering and relief) of your viewing eyeball and I've never been able to use it satisfactorally while wearing glasses. When I have my contacts in, no problem. The (markedly heavier and bulkier) Leica 5x has less such sensitivity, and the builtin groundglass and mounted-slide holder can be pretty luxurious when you're peering at a few individual slides. (Clearly, if you need an overall view of a bunch, you'll want to lay them out on a proper light table.)
