Wanting to purchase either the prizm sapphire or prizm black Holbrook metals. I've used prizm black and know they are good in direct sunlight. For those of you who have a frame with prizm sapphire, how is it in full sun? If you have both, how do they compare?
 
I have both and enjoy them under different situations or feel.
In you live in a sunny state, black prizm is more flexible. Black prizm in my opinion darkens while maintaining some true colors with a slight rosy hue.
Saphire prizm is quite rosy, brightens your view and works well with overcast days although it is good in sunny days too.
 
I just bought he steel holbrooks with daily prizm. I live in Texas and they handle the bright light very well. They are a perfect driving lense. They don't just shade colors like gray and black lenses. Does almost seem to have a pink or purple tint, but sharpens all colors. Not sure if that helps or not.

I personally have prizm sapphire myself, for me, it does very good on bright sunny days with feeling any eye strain from it not being dark enough, it does have a rosy tint but my eyes adjust to it very well and I prefer it much more than the non-prizm sapphire lens. Compared to Prizm black, you can tell its not as dark, but like i said for me, I had no issues with bright sunny days with the lens where I'd want a darker lens.
