Very nice, Yi-An.

Cheers mate! Always awesome to get a comment from you, oh "Ruby Wan Kenobi"! Slightly off topic, but what did you think of @Walter Langkowski's ruby R1 lenses for sale? Pity about the mark on it. Otherwise I think I probably would have "pulled" the trigger on it.

I like that, "Ruby Wan Kenobi".....LOL.
I thought they may well have been Ruby: they had the right tones(even though I did mention, they were indoor photos) Had they not been snagged by @GamerGuySam....I was thinking about them, myself.........but it wasn't be. An opportunity will rise at some stage.

@cacatman, you are an inspiration to collators everywhere.

Thanks man! Honestly, I don't really do too much. All the info is out there. Just takes time to put it together!!

How does Prizm Shallow Water compare to Tungsten Iridium? (@DKO)

Ruby Lenses 101 (cacatman)

Does anyone have any info on the Prizm Snow collection VLT percentages? All I can find are ranges and I was wondering if specifics have been located? I've searched around with no luck. I realize Oakley is focused more on contrast instead of VLT% on the Prizm lenses, but was just curious.

This is what the spreadsheet shows:
Prizm Black Iridium 5-10%
Prizm Jade Iridium 11-20%
Prizm Sapphire Iridium 11-20%
Prizm Rose 21%+

OO BIP vs VR28 BIP (stolen from @Xformr, thanks for the mention @lacampbell2005)

Both of these lenses at 10% VLT and with healthy black iridium coatings, as said by so many, are some of Oakley's best and both likely inspired the Prizm lines. These are my 2 favorites and can handle most anything between them, except full-on hurricane-dark skies (stay tuned...) or night mode.

It's subjective, but the tints are both amazing and comes down to which enhancement your eyes feel most comfortable at the time. I do find the iridium reflection ever so slightly stronger on the OO BIP.

This was a bit fun and intense at the same time. I have roughly a straight shot hour long drive in to work, so this entertained me along the way. I've never done so many rapid lens swaps or car photos before... Driving with 1 of each in for a while was a little weird. I don't recommend that as a solution for the undecided voter.

Sun angle is sideways in my face for about half the time and behind me the other half. Photos taken about 8AM heading West on my way to Richmond, Virginia. Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy.

In one of the pics, notice that my camera on my Samsung Galaxy 8 tried to compensate a bit differently for the OO BIP versus the VR28 BIP.
Also, my eyes don't notice a difference, but the camera found some difficulty seeing my LCD gauge cluster and OO BIP looks more clear. Again, I have no trouble reading LCD's in my car with any polarized lenses.

Hope this helps everyone out a tad. If there's a specific angle/situation you're looking for, I'll do my best to oblige, conditions permitting. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking:
