loupe - what to buy?

, intended to write something intelligible, but instead wrote : "Lobo" wrote in message .. . Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced loupe? I'm a quilter and can't read the sizes on sewing machine needles anymore. That and to be able to read marks inside some rings I have is all I want the loupe for, so it doesn't have to be expensive and as fine as you folks probably need. I've read a little about them and it sounds like a black triplet, 5X to 10X is what I need. I've found several online in a range from $14-$23. I'd appreciate any advice you could give me. TIA ....
