How to identify Prizm lens model (Trail, Road, Golf, Baseball, ...)

All these images were taken through a Canon 50D in manual (to eliminate any unexpected automatic image adjustments) and with no post color correction.

These is as raw an image as you can get, no Photoshop except to add text.

Interesting. So how do they actually take the photo though? Are they creating a filter to put onto the Canon Lens, or are they just holding up the sunglasses in front of the camera?
 
You need to use a lens hood for this. I figured in order to get the most accurate image I needed to prevent an glare or light from bleeding through between the camera lens and glasses lens. I used a rubber shade and tried to "conform" the shade the the lens. Most of these were shot through my EVZeros so I had no frame to contend with during the process.

Very cool. That does seem like the best way to get the most accurate picture. Thanks for the info!

Didn't realize those were your pics. So professional looking! Happen to have the same photo without the lenses?

I wonder if there are spectral graphs for the different prizm to see how different color wavelengths are affected.
