Pro tip: I found a 10x hand lens was way better than my phone's camera for checking mineral cleavage in the field.

I tried using a 10x loupe for that last year and it just didn't work for me. My phone camera lets me zoom in and actually take a picture to compare later. With the hand lens I'm just squinting trying to hold it steady, and the field of view is so tiny. For a quick check maybe, but for serious note taking I need that digital record.

That tiny field of view @haydenp95 mentioned is why I gave up on loupes too.
