The Spectacles Thread. - Part 2

I don't think I've ever seen scratches on my glass lenses. Really. Maybe have small scratches, but I never noticed.

i guess you take good care of them hahaha. micro scratches maybe. glass lens cant be compared to plastic lens haha.dun think i wan a glass lens with very low power. still gotta say no lens prevents scratching hahaha, unless made with diamond maybe got chance.
boss orange gives a younger look!! also partly professional because the design is simple and not too loud!

That rimless MontBlanc frame that I am eyeing for somehow suit my face. MY gf also likes it. My degrees are pretty bad at about 400+ on each eye.

Yes I am going for the 1.6 (is the thinnest lens right?) transition lens. I tend to choose big brands for their quality and design.

The picture below is something similar to what I saw but the frames are straight unlike those conventional ones that are bended.

transitions should be 1.67 for most
some brands have 1.74

above 400 below 600 1.67 makes a difference in thickness

Hey bros, I'm intending to get hoya len from Malaysia. Tried to ask for cert but she mentioned that not all hoya models have cert. Is it true and how do I verify if they are real original hoya len?

it doesn't sound like a carrot price but without the specific items that's the most i can guess?
probably RRP
at that price the skill when fitting the lenses and giving you a pair of usable glasses without issues should be more important

different country different ways of doing things . if the cert isn't personalised like the ones zeiss does there's not much of a point isn't it?

if you are suspecting the retailer before buying...... why ask us?

capitol under normal circumstances no carrot one follow RRP
depending on circumstances can bargain a bit

Hi, juz to enquire whr can i get good prices for ray bans shades/sunglasses?

 

[fattsheng]

Rimless transitions?

Brandless should be roughly $300 +/- all the way to known brands For $400 (Crizal $398) (Zeiss photofusion 1.6 $450)
And upmarket brands for even higher (Nikon)
Price and basic specifications alone cannot determine price Ex anot

oldbreadstinks, can I check if the $398 which you mentioned for Crizal is the RRP for Transitions Signature VII? And this would be 1.6?

Would you be able to advise the lens thickness for 1.6 vs 1.67 for 300 degrees?

Thanks! =)

 

[jervin88]

Can I help to advise hahaha. 300 degree 1.6 is alright but 1.67 would be great cosmetically especially with sleek frames with thin rims or no rims. With a thick plastic frame 1.6 1.67 wont feel the difference due to plastic covering it anyway
