Which loupe / magnifier for viewing 6x6 negs?

[Deano]

Im' after a magnifier loupe for viewing my 6x6 negs on a lightbox and contact sheets. Which is best? I see that the Kaiser / Rodenstcok are used quite a bit alongside the Schneider.
Any advice appreciated.

All three use good glass, my preference would be for Schneider but go with whatever suits your pocket best.

I think it is great and wish I had bought one yonks ago. It does not quite cover an intire 6x6 neg/tranny in one go but near enough.

If the Kiaser one you are looking at is an 8x then i would avoid it personnally. I also have the Jessop equivalent and it is to small and the maginification is way to much.
