differences between mag switch and mag four?

[karasugenji]

hi, as o-review is down for a while i couldn't get information about these two models even here.
Can anyone is kind enough to compare them and share the differences in details ?

Mag 4 is ugly a/f and Mag switch is cool a/f
Hope that helps

I wouldnt call it ugly af, however, switch is superior. Also Mag 4 is pretty tiny. If you have large face it wont look or fit right.

Mag 4 o. 4 S has a solid frame and a clamped Orbital with a screw to change lenses.
Mag Switch has a flex coupler bridge that needs to be serviced just like X Metal. And no orbital screw to change lenses.
Changing lenses and servicing the bridge can be a challenging.
Rubber are super hard to find for both.
Me personally stay away from both.
Currently I own a Carbon 4S that will be up for sale soon.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I heard that mag Switch don't age very well and are fragile.

Correct, the Magnesium does not age well.

Mag Switch(es) need Babying, So best to Wear only in Spring/Autumn when you are least likely to sweat, Avoid using Suntan Cream & Hair Gel if at all possible if you intend wearing them. And Clean the Frames down with an Anti bacterial wipe/allowing them to dry before you put them back in Bag/Display Cabinet.

Never had a Mag Four, As they as others allude to are Ugly/Small. But i imagine the same rules apply.
