Anyone Knows What Lenses They Use For X-Men Prop?

If you are able to apply the mirror coat, you can get a Scratch Coat that will absorb tints. That's how I tint Rx lenses.

The new x-men movie will bring a big surge to the x- metal line again . both for me and the xmetal exchange

Hopefully, but it looks like they used a radar lock this time. Doesn't look near as good as the Juliet and penny iterations.

But it looks a little more like the traditional Cyclops visor from yesteryear ... But re-imagined for 2014...

Hey there! I'm new to the forum but I thought I might offer some insight. One way to tell the actual all red mirror prop lenses from the Extrovista lenses or any of the others lenses that claim to be identical to the prop is that the original lenses made for the movie had the Silver Mirror on the inside. That, and a Red tint that instead of the traditional Blue or Gray that the lenses normally have when you look through them. The Silver mirror on the inside of the lenses reflects the dyed color of the lenses back to the surface as opposed to Oakley's Ruby or the others, which is an actual colored mirror coating itself applied to the surface. Of course there's one more additional thing I like to do to mine to give them even more Red but I don't think any of the ones sold online really do it aside from myself. And since a friend and I haven't done a run of these for a long time I can't really see any to compare. Here's two photo's of a set of lenses I made using the same techniques as the prop lenses. Obviously these aren't as practical as they're uncomfortable to look through all day and make stop lights disappear. But being a prop replica collector they're good enough to sit in a display case lol. Another reason being that these lenses are plastic and not Polycarbonate. You might ask why I'd use plastic instead, and the reason is that the tint doesn't absorb in Polycarbonate quite the same as it does for plastic. Anyway, that's just my two cents I thought I'd throw that out there to celebrate the new X-Men movie!
