I'd be happy to follow a link to a good site where a particular loupe was sorta sitting in a spotlight with big arrows pointing to it...

(I honestly don't know what I'd do without yall.)
Danachit,
I think the important one is the correction for spherical & chromatic aberration. It is not the same as the colour correction but you should see to it to get both things in your loupe.

Now I have found what I have been looking for: a loupe of the triplet type has been corrected for distorsion and colour fringing and it should be in a black housing. Now I hope You have all the facts you need to be able getting yourself a good loupe.
