Cutting Lenses - What Works

[qtrain23]

then the lens doesn't work. There is no way around fking up the optics. Either it works and works right, or it doesn't. Cut the etching off completely if you can, but don't twist the lens just to make it look good.

That's what I was saying. I won't cut OO BIP for my Romeo cuz I can't find a donor that would work correctly.

yeah dammit, ive only looked into unpolarised so far just cos

Hehe, I do agree with you guys that opics is primary. Otherwise why even bother buying Oakley lenses at all. However, I can't ignore the cosmetic aspect and if the letters can line up, great. If not, I'd prefer to completely cut them off.

And by your comments, I can only assume that no polarized doner lens can either preserve or eliminate the letters...

For Romeo, XX or Juliets.

there may be a couple, but generally nothing exotic. Besides, who in the hell pays attention to the letter while wearing em anyway haha...

Vented jawbone lens SKU 16-866 will fit R1? What is listed is jawbone lens, not sure on the vented lens.. Thanks in advance

it wont. vented JB will only fit juliet (tight), and penny

Correct, hence why it's not in the table...

Do you guys even look?

well so far ive done 2 pairs of etched polar lenses and got it to line up polarically with only half the "D" cut off, so nothing completely **** yet, but if it was my lens i rather have no etching and give the optics their best shot.

and for sure if its not gonna line up i'll tell em and reject the job if they insist. im only doing it to help the local enthusiasts but if thats all they go for then im not really helping them at all.

Hey BriP, so given that optics is 1st priority (which it is for me) and second is to preserve the etching... sounds like preservation isn't possible. The question now that I have is whether elimination is possible. If I can't save it, I don't want it. Any insight on which doner polar lenses for Juliet, XX and Romeo where the etching can be completely avoided while maintaining 100% optics?

Try a Ten...Or maybe Pit Bull...Depends again on the color, but there are plenty you can lose the etching on for a Juliet, Romeo however, is a totally different beast, and probably NOT possible to lose fully...
