Oakley Prizm Baseball Infield or Outfield?

[kronin323]

Hello gentlemen, clearly you guys are becoming experts on the Oakley prizm lenses. Can you help me out?

I have several pair of Oakley Prizm, got them all from a dealer and now I am having trouble identifying which is which. The Daily Polarized is obvious, as is the Prizm Trail. I think the deep reds in the Prizm Road have allowed me to identify it as well.

Here's where I run into a problem, I have 3 Prizm Pitch lenses that don't have the deep reds like oo Red Iridium, but do have the reds and oranges I've seen on positive red (just not as "deep" if you know what I mean). They are a bit lighter...BUT here's the catch! These 3 Prizm Pitch lenses are neutral, there is no pinkish or contrast views when looking thru them....just your normal greys.

Does anyone know which of the Oakley Prizm lenses is advertised with Neutral tint? That would help me a great deal, thanks!

Here's a picture of the actual pair of glasses...... I can take other pics if need be, but I think you guys know what a neutral tint looks like, correct?

Thanks for looking guys, appreciate the assist.

P.S. Oakley rep told me this "has to be Oakley Daily Prizm polarized because its the only Prizm lens with a neutral tint", problem is I've seen the Daily Prizm Polarized....this isn't it ( right guys?). The daily polarized looks more like a TR or oo Black type lens IMO.

Thanks

It also doesn't distort your view when viewing a computer monitor or lcd screen, something we're use to with regular Oakley Polarized lenses. The Oakley rep said the prizm daily polarized was engineered to eliminate the problem, so maybe I'm wrong here. Thx

Well you're right, they're definitely not Daily. Nor Road or either of the two water prizms. The base tint doesn't look right to be Golf, either.

Could you post a pic that better shows the iridium? Block the light from the back of the lenses.

My best guess would be Baseball Infield, but that should have a noticeable reddish iridium, which I can't see in that pic, but it might just be the lighting. Baseball Outfield is a 2nd possibility but it, too, should have a noticeable reddish iridium.

Lacking red iridium, most likely they're TR45.

BTW "neutral"' as a base tint description for prizm lenses is a misnomer. All prizms are contrast base, it just depends on which spectrums they've been tuned for. So Daily isn't really neutral, it's better described as "general purpose" tuning.

That Oakley rep is full of ****.

I just grabbed a DPP lens and it DOES distort the view on a laptop screen AND another screen. You can tell him I said he is full of ****.

Those are not daily. I am not sure what they are though.

I have the prizm infield and they look like very much like ruby iridium, but let in about 20% of the light. There is some coating that gives them some mirror effect like iridium coating. I am not sure if it's actually iridium or not.

Thanks for all the input guys, here's a pic of the lens through the back. Yep, Neutral is a misnomer, my apologies I was just at a loss as to how to describe the only lens without (what appeared) to be the pinkish contrast.

Prizm infield is actually one of the only Prizm lenses I've not had my hands on, hmmmm.

 

[pistolpetefan23]

That looks more and more like Baseball Infield to me, with the more reddish tones in it. Might even be Baseball Outfield to be honest.

 

[kronin323]

Yeah you've definitely got red iridium on them so more likely baseball infield, otherwise maybe outfield.

 

[kronin323]

Oddly enough baseball infield is the only ldnz I hadn't seen personally. So in your opinions, which lenses can we absolutely eliminate?

Same as I said before - daily, road, trail, golf, and both water prizms.

Does anyone have a picture comparing the Prizm Baseball Outfield lens to the Infield lens?

I recently bought a pair on ebay from a trusted seller that said they were Outfield, however they are pretty transparent and going off the numbers (15% vs. 20%) I want to say they are Infield.

The stick on the lenses just said "Prizm Baseball." No Outfield or Infield notation.

Anyone know any way to tell...? Thanks.
