Currently I have a pair of Holbrooks with VR28 black Iridium polarized lenses for everyday use . I'm thinking of selling them and getting dark bronze instead (tried finding just the lenses, couldn't), because:
1. Polarized lenses are a bit more hassle than I first thought for everyday use since they mess with screens and monitors, which just makes things look weird when out and about. It also means I can't look through the viewfinder of my camera.
2. I didn't realise they'd be so rosey in colour. I have a pair of cheap Polaroid sunglasses (P4039A) I use in my car, and that tint is a lot more appealing.
My main concerns on the dark bronze are how visible my eyes will be from the outside in most situations, and how dark and how comfortable the lenses are to look through for long periods of time. It's one of the rarer lens options as I haven't been able to find any examples in any stores near me, so if any of you have first hand experience it would be much appreciated.
