Ade Advanced Optics 2021TB 20x by 21 mm Triplet Professional Jewelers Loupe, Black with Leather Case

This loupe is a nice compact size to toss in my hiking bag. The lens is clear and it is fun to see plant life up close with it (which is why I got it). I also really dig the vintage kind of look of the carry case and the box it came in!

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

I bought this to ready very tiny text on parts. It works very well for that task, but I was also able to inspect jewelry to ensure the prongs supporting the diamonds are still in good shape. It would also be useful when shopping for jewelry to inspect the quality of a diamond. There's no limit to the number of uses for a quality loupe. This is metal, has some heft to it, and feels like a solid, quality, product. The image from the glass is sharp, clear, and not distorted.

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.

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

While of course this is not a TRUE triplet (those start at around $30) this is exactly what I was looking for. Something inexpensive enough that it wouldn't be tragic if it got lost (this was a gift for my boyfriend who lost his old one) but that was sturdy (metal construction) and did the job well. Despite being only a single thick lens, there really was not much distortion if any around the edges of the lens. I've never actually used a true triplet, but from what I understand that is the main benefit of them - true and accurate magnification with no distortion around the edges of the lens. The case it came with is a nice little leather pouch.

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.

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.

Good fit and finish. Optics are exceptable

For an inexpensive 20x loupe, great. If you are professional, you will want B&L, Zeiss, etc.

Exactly what I needed, it was not defective, came on time. I use it for the garden to check out the bugs

Bought it for the case, hehe. I gave away the triplet, and my friend says it does the job!
