The problem with G26, while it is beautiful from the outside...is that it KILLS COLOR PERCEPTION while looking through it. It was developed as a shooting lens I believe, so reds...like a orange or red clay in trap shooting...pops but everything else is completely washed out.

I had a pair of plasma XS with custom cut G26 in the past, I traded it for a plasma ruby xx, but my eyes thanked me for it. It's like VR/Oculus...it's cool and great but it ruins your eyes messes with your brain and just generally not a brilliant idea!

Odd, I wore a set with G26 custom cuts all day outside this week and had no issues whatsoever with color discernment.

Personally, I think G26 is a totally overrated lens from an aesthetic point of view, kind of like my thoughts on X Metals in general.
