Customers like the performance, quality and value of the magnifier.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the magnifier. They mention that it works well enough to get a glimpse of what's on the page, it gets the job done for a very reasonable price, and the LED lights work well and minimize heat. It's a simple, but very useful tool that works well for magnifying up close on objects. It works best on a flat surface under a bright light, and it has a sharp view, but mainly in the center of the lens.

Many of the competition's loupes need to be screw focused or raised off the subject to focus them. Some of the loupes work better if you use them upside down. Others won't yield a sharp image no matter what position they are in. There is a wide range of budget priced loupes out there and they are all different as to sharpness and field of view. The vintage Agfa 8X Lupe image is sharp when you put it flat on an object and focus is perfect as-is. An issue with some of these adjustable loupes is; even if you adjust the focus it wont stay put. The focus is loose as a goose. Also important is the Agfa's wide field of view which makes it easy to use, which is especially important for cine' film work in the Small Gauge Film Archive. When using a loupe in the wet darkroom for process camera work you needed a loupe that was fast to focus, didn't need adjustments and could be gripped with a wet hand. The vintage Agfa Lupe fit the bill perfectly.
The Carson LumiLoupe 10X Stand Magnifier #LL-10 is a suitable budget priced replacement for the vintage Agfa 8x Lupe. It has very good sharpness and wide field of view. I'd judge it about 90% or more as good as a vintage Agfa 8X Lupe. Before we adopted them in the Archive I purchased 3 of the Carson LL-10's to test...all 3 were the same high quality view when it came to sharpness. Although the ergonomics are not as good as the Agfa 8X Lupe, the Carson has an indentation that allows for some grip control. But if you don't hit the indentation it can slip out of your hands due to its slope design. Before settling on the Carson LL-10 we tried 14 other budget priced loupes and magnifiers. None could compare to the Carson LL-10 for all the qualities we needed in a loupe.

1) When viewing a flat surface, my loupe is out of focus; it must be raised off the flat surface being examined by 3 or 4mm in order to focus on the flat surface under the loupe. This is probably a desirable trait if you're interested in examining a 3D object like a coin or insect, but it doesn't work well for me and my intended use. A variable focus (by for example turning the eyepiece) would be a significant benefit in this regard, but the Carson does not have this feature.
2) Focus deviates as you look further from the center of the field of view. For a cheap plastic lens, this is totally expected, and this effect is reduced if you move your eye closer to the eyepiece. Not a deal-breaker, but worth mentioning.
I'm going to try adjusting focus using some cardboard shims - we'll see if I'm successful.
All that said, for the money, it's a worthwhile piece of equipment for your kit.
It is easy to use and great value for money.
I got it to look at coins, and that is the biggest problem for me. For coins in slabs, due to the few millimeters of plastic on the front of the slab, I can't get the coin quite in focus. I'd say it's about 90% there, just enough to miss a lot of detail though. And yes, this is with the reticle removed. Coins that are in 2x2 cardboard flips come in sharp though. It also has a fair amount of distortion and chromatic aberration near the edges but that is to be expected for the plastic optics.
All said I will probably keep this loupe though for non-slabbed coins and other things like fossils. It's decent for the price.
