Just realized my mentor was right about using a $15 loupe for shutter curtain inspection

He said, 'Your eyes will lie before that glass does,' and after missing a tiny tear on a Nikon FE2 that cost me a repair redo, I finally get it, so what's one piece of simple gear you all swear by?

Gotta ask, is a tiny tear on a shutter curtain really that big of a deal? Most of those old cameras are still ticking along with little flaws. How many shots did you actually lose before you noticed it? Feels like we chase perfection in these old tools when good enough is usually right there.

Saw a guy on a forum who lost half a roll to a pinhole he couldn't even see without a flashlight.
