M Frame Strike Lenses

[386MFrames]

Front two are older strike lenses
Third in, is an aftermarket lense
Last is the new z87

Z87 lense with the nose piece has a small Oakley logo, "z87+S", and "03-2016"

This is the older lense and z87 lense

One looks to be a Gen 1 (the red one) and the other a Gen 2. The major difference between a Gen 1 and Gen 2 M Frame lens, is the Gen 1 hooks (the taps that lock the lens into the frame) are much shorter as opposed to the Gen 2 lenses, which are much longer and straighter.

Hmm..those tabs do seem to be similar...however your first picture you showed us with the two lenses in the frame..the red lens does not fit into the frame very well. You can see the gap on the ends.

That frame is just a spare, lost the arm and it's cracked and been repaired 3 times now at the hinge, so it might not be a good representation

While I'm on that subject, has anyone seen fakes of the M Frame? That would still have the icons and lettering in the arms

Here's some more pics, used the same frame to show the lense. The red lense is smaller all the way around, almost like the black is some ev lense, it also seems like it curves differently and touches my face the whole time.

It looks like a Grey Agro lens

Does that mean they don't make the original size strike lenses?

I'm not too certain that the grey lens is an authentic Oakley lens. I have never seen the nose piece attetchment on an M Frame lens wth two hooks like that.

SI lenses have the "hook"
