Zeiss EyeMag is a benchmark for optical quality — and for price and weight. Here’s how iLoupes stacks up.
| iLoupes | Zeiss EyeMag Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Magnification range | 3.5× – 10× | 3.2× – 5.0× |
| Optics | Near diffraction-limited — published MTF/USAF | Reference-grade (test data not published) |
| Field of view | Wide, expanded (published) | Published FOV table |
| Working distance | Fully adjustable | Fixed per build |
| Ergonomic angle | 60° prism geometry | Standard declination |
| Weight | Light [CONFIRM] | Often cited as heavy |
| Price | Premium, fairer | Ultra-premium |
The honest take: Zeiss optics are superb — and so are ours, and we prove it with published test data. We offer a wider magnification range, a fully adjustable working distance, a steeper 60° ergonomic angle, local fitting, and a fairer price.
