Ade Advanced Optics 10x21TB-A Triplet Professional Loupes

Highly recommend. Very sturdy. Clear glass. Magnifies well. We also have one that is a few years old and that one has held up well.

Works great for what we needed. Super small and compact.

For starters, I purchased this loupe as I was building my finance's engagement ring. I am not a professional jeweler, nor do I have a hobby that requires its use on a daily basis. I can say that I carried this loupe with me for several months while shopping diamonds and the fit, finish and function of the loupe maintained its quality throughout the duration of my search.The product arrived in a timely manner (perks of shopping with Amazon), and was exactly as pictured on the product listing. The loupe is made of metal and has a very solid feel to its construction. It is accompanied by a leather storage pouch that holds the loupe when not in use. The leather isn't a high quality material, but lets be honest, we're not buying this product for the carrying pouch. The loupe rotates on a metal hinge. The hinge had a nice resistance to it, holding the loupe in place when rotated out in use and keeping the lens tucked behind the guard when stored. The triplet lenses were very clear to my untrained eye, and certainly served their purpose to satisfy my needs. Overall, I think that this a good product for the money. It certainly was a valuable tool that gave me the ability to inspect the diamonds for myself and not just take the salespersons word for it.(Side Note)I highly encourage anyone who is making the significant investment in a diamond, to do their homework on what to look for in a stone before they go out into the market to begin their search.

I ordered this to replace another triplet i lost in a field class for a geology course. This one arrived on time and is very handy. The hing is a little stiff but not so bad that once you use it a few times it doesn't loosen up, and stays stiff enough it isn't constantly falling open. There is a little plastic loop for you to attach a lanyard so you don't lose it easily. The case is a nice touch but depending on the size of the lanyard it may not fit well inside.The lens has a close viewing range but thats to be expected. Overall it works well and does what i need it to and is a nice design for the price.

Just got my new loop and looking forward to using it in the field.

Very nice quality. I love the little leather case that it comes in.

Nice lens with good optics, but the attachemnt ring is so small only a metal wire will fit through there to hang it

I have a Japanese 10X Hastings Triplet Loupe I bought used about 20 years ago, and I have a Belomo 10X Loupe I purchased about 7 years ago. I was looking for some decent, low-priced loupes for a couple of friends, and ran across this LE loupe on Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised for the quality versus price.The SE is bright and clear, with a very flat field of focus (all the way to the edge). The field of view is superior to my Japanese and Belomo loupes. It is also very comfortable for me to look through for extended periods.The SE compares nicely with the Belomo, although the Belomo seems to have more resolving power in the very center, it also has more distortion and less field of view.The SE compares nicely with my 20+ year old Japanese Hastings, although the Japanese version seems to be slightly more accurate regarding color (very, very slight).I would also like to add that the build quality for the SE appears to be excellent. The rivets are tight, and the lens is mounted tight. I'll be ordering a couple more of these SE loupes for my friends (as originally intended), but I'll be keeping this first SE for myself! The SE represents a fantastic value considering the price paid.
