Flak XL lenses (Sunglass Hutt UK) won't fit Flak series 1 9009 frames? Just snapped my frame fitting lenses .

[Brad_W]

as far as the query, the lens width is the best indicator
examples,
OO9188 is a 59
OO9271 is a 61
NO fit!

The 271 lens is too wide to even fit in the 188 & the 271 lens will just fall out of the 188.


I am completely shocked & now scared, that the Flak IS breakable.
A few times in the past I have thought I was really going to break my Half-Jacket OO9153 (low bridge fit) when forcing in a standard OO9154 lens.

I've always had better luck putting the nose bridge side in first, then snapping in the other side.

Really?
because that would almost never work in a Flak 2.0 XL
Is the Flak 1.0 that much different?

It is the preferred method for BiSphaera though, which is sort of considered the new Flak 3.0 or a Hybrid between Flak & Sphaera.
