For 8 loupes that is less than $100 a each.

Very cheap for what they are.

The 3x 6x7 alone used to go for around $250. Others around $100-150. They're top quality multi-element loupes, dude.

Looks like a decent bargain to me.

They are by Mamiya. You get what you pay for. My Nikon 8x loupé cost $260. That was 12 years ago. Some Schneider loupés are around $400 mark at the moment. No cheap bottle-top glass made in these babes. If you are examining trannies and negs, you want the highest quality viewing glass possible to cut out aberration, coma and astigmatism. You name the features, and generally the sky's the limit!

Still, that much money makes me loupy.

[Sirius Glass]

I, myself, have only been able to use one loupe at a time, so I agree with Rick that I too would become loupy.

I have one of the x8 loupes, it's great for viewing 35mm negs & slide film. I think I paid about $80 from B&H years ago. Would love a 67 one.

I don't think a strong magnification is necessary for the larger 67, 5x4 formats. A 3x 6x7 loupé does exist: http://tinyurl.com/737ylkl
