How much does it cost to make a pair of Zeiss Framefit freeform 1.67 lens with Photofusion? About 400 degrees right and 300 left. The rest all pretty normal.

No, I dont think its good enuf. If your degree is 750 u need to take double aspherical design, am i right xiaokaka? $80 korean lens is cheap but vision is not good. And AR coating sure v lousy. Even normal jap lens like OSA brand's AR coating spoils after 4 mths. I dont dare to say for korean lenses. Im surprised shops in sg nowadays still sells you such lens.

$80 honestly speaking cant even last you one day of living expenses in sg. So what to say for a pair of lens? U can only imagine the quality.

Wow! Never thought that lenses could be so expensive!!! :eek:

Hey citiguy, not only are lenses expensive, everything else is expensive now. Even a hdb flat can cost you more than 500k and up to $1mil whereas many years back hdb is supposed to be affordable & much cheaper.

So seriously speaking, $1000 for lens will be considered the minimal in the years to come. Imagine sg inflation rate is the highest together with hk. U just got to work harder to earn mre $. Investing in a good pair of specs is much better than you needing to change your lenses every once in a while else you got to live with seeing the world through spoiled AR coating lenses.

Take out lens >> Push the ends into inner grove >> put back lens

Hais, you still don get wat im trying to say. wat i mean is that the nylon may have been scatched or run over by sme metal things or watever that causes fine roots of the nylon to come off.

Anyway, i will just live with it and wait till the lens spoil before gg back re-order new lens to fit in at the same time request them to replace me a new nylon thread. That wil most likely be in a few yrs' time. If go back to shop to ask them do anyting now, im afraid they will further spoil either the frame or the lens in the midst of re-doing. I better save the risk.

guys, anyone knows the market price of 1.74 index lenses in singapore?

realistically, u don really need 1.74 lens, esp if you choose bigger size frame then the thickness would have made no difference at all.

1.67 is really good enough, make it a dbl aspherical and it will be almost like a 1.74, and much clearer.
