Advice on sensor loupes?

[DanK]

I had to clean the sensor on my 5DIII today, and for the first time ever, my standard approach (blower, then static brush if necessary, then wet-cleaning if necessary) didn't work. I finally got it clean using a Lenspen SensorKlear pen, which I have never had to use before.

This time, I really had to find individual dust bunnies, and the light on my old loupe had died. It was extremely hard to manage this with a flashlight, a loupe, and the pen.

So, I am in the market for a new loupe. I would like one that will let me get to the sensor while the loupe is on, which makes using the SensorKlear pen much easier. I looked at B&H, and the prices of loupes run from $18 to $200 (!) for various brands, so I thought I should ask if anyone here has experience with any loupe that they either recommend or suggest not buying.

Hi Dan,

I'm using VisibleDust Quasar Plus 7x Sensor Loupe.
And so far still happy with it. Clear light and good magnification.

kind regards,

Erik
