Purchased from frames direct.
but
make sure you know what size you want.

The lens width, (47-55mm)
The side length (140/135mm)
and
the lens height.

So it much easier to narrow down those frames u like.
As for the lens itself, i do it locally.

Just made a pair of Oakleys Rachtet 4.0 ($453) + Zeiss Lotutec lens (200/350, 1.6), paid around $680 in total. Good deal?

Don't know if the salesman smoke me anot, say my degree is too low for Nikon/Zeiss 1.67 lens. Hence keep pushing me to 1.6 instead. Anyone care to clarify?

Quest, the $629 is just the cost for the frame?

Hi guys..

I wanna make a pair of new specs but kinda scared of getting chopped.. Been reading through the thread but saw a diversity of prices..

Also, anyone got any reputable shop to recommend? Can PM me if cannot disclose here..

Can any guru give me a rough estimate of the price of the 1.67 lenses mah?

1) Nikon
2) Seiko
3) Essilor Crizal/Varilux

I have high degree of 600 ~700 so i think a 1.67 will suit me..


Also, anyone got any reputable shop to recommend? Can PM me if cannot disclose here..

So far saw 2:

1) Kwong shin
2) Peral's Optics

Considering:

1) Nanyang Optics
2) Optical88

Really grateful if anyone can provide me some insights.. Thanks in advance..

Was quoted Nikon 1.67 @$200 when i made my specs there but i tink some discount was given...
