A very rare item!

Superb to quickly determine the sharpness of your slides, fully adjustable focus to ensure perfect image quality. The forerunner of pixel peeping!

Came out as the best loupe in a magazine test a few years ago and I can verify that, typical top quality Pentax product!

I think I paid around £100 for it, but I can see it's available from Amazon for £55 link.

Other stores list it for much more link, so I'm open to sensible offers.

It is in mint (as new) condition.

I also have a few other items of possible interest that I mistakenly posted up on eBay without thinking! link

One forum member did a buy now and said I should have put it up here first. Just habit I guess. Oh well, you live and learn!

Should be something for Womble. Great way to determine optimal sharpness on the ground glass of his Horseman.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Sold to Kris (womble), I'm sure he will find it perfect for his requirement.

It's a fantastic loupe for examining slides & negatives as well!
