Cutting Lenses for X-Metal

[Chris A Hardaway]

Plaintiff/sq a no go for R1 xx or Juliet?

Works on all listed in question.

Flak
Flak 2
Hj2

For chopping, those are the other three current lenses to get. Flak 2 is pretty narrow though. Penny probably works. Not sure about Juliet. XX - no.

Flak jacket xlj send to work for xx Xmetal, but again on xx Xmetal etching can be an issue left behind "P".

I’m curious if Oakley will produce Flak lenses for the foreseeable future. It was one of the best sellers for a long time, but Flak 2.0 obviously replaced it.

It’s good that Flak works for XX X-Metal. Always good to possess another option.

Agreed. I've noticed they have started basically doing flak 1.0 frames in Black or polished black, and that's about it. But lenses still come in 15+ colors

Will the plaintiff/plaintiff squared work on the R2?

Seems redundantly redundant

I think that the plaintiff squared world work, I doubt very much on plaintiff for R2. Though maybe @jdd32 would know?

 

[xmetal40]

Hand cut, yeah. Machine cut, no.

Just throwing this out there I see a lot of talk about flak 2.0 xl lenses. As long as they are NOT polorized they can be machine cut by @Chris A Hardaway for Juliet’s and penny of course. Sometimes there may be a sliver of prizm etching left sometimes not. I’ve had Chris cut a few for my personal Juliet’s and have all come out great!
