Are you referring to the view looking through the Prizm rose gold looking like the Tungsten and Prizm Shallow? If so, then yes I see the similarities. In fact, the SWP base tint comparison pic was a last minute add because I realized how similar it was to the rose gold.
I will tell you that the contrast with Prizm Tungsten is on a whole ‘nother level compared to old school Gold and even the Prizm rose gold. Certain colors just really pop. It’s quite awesome if you’re into contrast lenses.Last edited:

Yes, that picture. I have a pair of Holbrooks with the Prizm Tungsten a d you're right, certain colors pop. It's better than the Tungsten Iridium in my opinion. Between the prizm rose gold, prizm Tungsten and swp which do you prefer?
well done. Couldn’t have said it better myself!!! - 1,872

Oh man, that’s a tough decision! I use each for different conditions.
SWP is my absolute favorite go-to for rainy/overcast days and even partly sunny. I find that it just doesn’t quite hold up in bright sun. Almost, but not quite.
The Prizm Tungsten I use in similar conditions as the SWP. Again, I find it a bit lacking in bright sun. That’s probably due to the lighter coating of Iridium. It is amazing to use in whiteout conditions though. Overall, I’d probably pick SWP over Prizm Tungsten.
Among the choices you mentioned, I guess I’d pick the Prizm rose gold for an everyday lens only because it does better for me in bright sun. I don’t know the stats, but it seems to have a lower light transmission than the other two. It also seems like it would have enough contrast to perform decently well in lower light conditions.
All that said, I’m glad I don’t have to choose, because I couldn’t imagine life without SWP! - 1,872
