Black Prizm lenses

[MicahS]

I have Prizm black in a Mainlink. I haven't seen much difference from standard BI. I'll have to do a more detailed comparison.

So, what do you think of the Black Prizm lenses, @jmthr278?

I picked up a new pair of work shades (read: not x-metal because they'll be destroyed) and settled after a glance around the store at a pair of straightlinks with non-polarized prizm black lenses.

It was my first experience with prizm lenses, and I found, at first, that they didn't seem dark enough to me. I think that's largely because certain colors really "pop" through them, giving the illusion of a higher VLT lens.

After a few days the eye strain lessened, and on my long bi-weekly drives to and from work I really enjoyed them. Springtime was a good time to try them out, everything is so *green*. Is a damned emerald forest out there.

It seemed like primary and secondary colors in general were intensified. Reddish brown things like bricks became more red, the dark orange duct I bury for a living became what looks to me like, well, an exact, perfect orange, and so forth.

I like them a lot, and find myself wearing the straightlinks instead of x-metals purely for the lenses once in a while, but I don't yet know how I'll feel about them come winter. The endless white needs no intensification.

I'm currently thinking about getting some cut for various X-metals; does anyone know if @salj838 is still in business? I've had her cut some R1 lenses before, which are perfect, but I couldn't find the website when I looked.

You can talk to @Chris A Hardaway about getting lens cuts also. He has been doing quite a lot of cuts for the forum.

I can definitely cut straightlink lenses for most xmetals. Just not big enough for R1... Which is odd because I saw a Canadian seller selling them. I wanted to email him/her but I figured I'm busy enough as is. Gauge 8 lenses are great for Romeo cuts... I don't have a color list in front of me now... You might want to research.

Yeah website is down as i am in transition relocating countries. But still sell on ebay.

Are the donors 8.75 curvature? For a wide lens like r1 (and any xmetal cuts preferably) i discourage using other curvature lenses especially if you have long eyelids. It will bother you sooner or later. So yeah i can cut it for you if its 8.75 donor.
