What would you guys recommend for a good loupe? Mainly for reading hallmarks on jewelry. Not looking to spend too much but I also want good quality if that's possible!
I will probably stay away from the real cheap ones...and there is a Zeiss one here for $99
ADD:
I just looked at Digger's link and found this:

This looks very similar to my "little black eyeball", except the objective on mine was a little smaller. But it was a joy to use!
I was looking at this one too.
I like the large size.
I find that 10X is not enough, 30X works far better for my needs.10x is what you need. 30x is WAY too much.
10 or 20 X is PLENTY. Anything higher and you will have a hard time seeing hallmarks. They will be too big...........
