Sorry if this has been done before, but I didn't see anything dedicated to magnifying glasses in a search. :ahhh
I love magnifying glass. And the "magnifying glass"(frame/handle) around them. I'm not actively collecting magnifying glasses, but I buy one if I like the handle, size, clarity, and magnification level.
Here are some photos of the little magnifier assortment. Large, small, stationery, loupes, etc.
What kind of magnifiers do you use?
Pics 1-4
Edit: I did not include Microscopes in this thread. Those deserve a separate thread. :)

Pics 5-6.

Nope. Didn't forget the SAK Mags. :)
I really need a new phone. The camera sucks so bad on mine. The laser through the SAK mags looked awesome. It looks pink in the photo. :rant:

Nice. :tu:

I've got a few, but this is by far my favourite. I bought it when I was about twelve or something along with a little pocket knife - now long gone, in a little village in Highland Perthshire, Scotland during a holiday. It's quite a pleasant memory.

Nice loupe, Fuzz! :like:
Thank you for the history on the loupe as well.
I constantly need a loupe at work and usually buy a pack of six 10x loupes at once. They aren't as well made as yours in the photo, but they do the trick. :)

Yo gerleatherberman, I've got a few mags but mostly just use my cheater glasses. But.... I got one that you don't have! I've had this one since the mid 60s, made by Tasco. I've studied insects and started fires with it. :pok: :tu:

That is very cool! I don't think I've seen one of those before. :like:

What a great thread- I have to take some pictures!!!
-
very nice glasses here, some odd examples
here below you have, a few of my samples
this LIDL one has pincers and I use it for rocks, precision machines and some tinkering at home
(https://i.imgur.com/tIOJrkt.jpg)
this one is cheap and plastic but due to its low weight and strength it has the EDC Loupe throne
(https://i.imgur.com/8BLkSIv.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/uAmJhWC.jpg)
for quick access and most normal uses I reach for the Victorinox, here exploring the unknown
(https://i.imgur.com/7rw20b6.jpg)
here it's the day I achieved lighting some leaves and starting a fire, I was really surprised
(https://i.imgur.com/SyxkxYG.jpg)
most times it's the Explorer or the Swisschamp, both with old style loupe or modernised
(https://i.imgur.com/VUAevuW.jpg)
to end this I say, the previous three sentences and these three last rhyme, have you realised? :D

Awesome photos, TP! Love the Mantis one. :like:
The Powerfix looks like a good mag! Clear and uniform magnification is always a great thing. :)
The pocket loupe mag does make a good EDC mag for sure. Do you keep it in a pouch or let it freeball in your pocket?

Hi G-Man
the Mantis seemed really attracted by it so i got the chance to take several shots before it jumped away :dunno:
(https://i.imgur.com/iGeaCn5.jpg)
the big plastic one is carried inside the sheath/pouch pocket, if it has one, or on a small very thin leather case, in both cases to avoid scratches (even though it already has a few) :facepalm:
I forgot to show the thread lopues (for sewing and threading) but I have few pics of those, if any ??? :P
-
Still quite cool. :cheers:
-
Used the new phone camera to retake that awful shot that made my laser look pink. I know I could have emailed the original and adjusted the hue, but I'm lazy. :rofl:
Hope this one looks better.

Thank you, Pabs!
The dimmable lamp a few feet back helps too. :cheers:

Very cool, CeHo! That low profile pocket loupe is very old-school. :tu:
Is that a magnified specimen case?
-
Many thanks :tu:
Yes it’s a magnified specimen case.
I like the low profile pocket loupe very much. It’s on my pocket for year :tu:
-
That's cool, CeHo! A good EDC always needs some magnification. :cheers:

:iagree:
