Re: loupes for large format camera use and; humidity levels

I'll be the "odd man out" here and suggest skipping the loupe. Too hard
to use in the corners. Makes you look at parts of, rather than the
entirety of, your image. I use reading glasses. Put them on a neck
string, put them OVER your regular reading glasses when you need to see
closer. You will need to keep your eyes a specific distance from the
groundglass (depending on your regular and reading glasses). Try it,
simple, fast and cheap.
