If you can see reflections in them (like, if you can count how many people there are in the reflection, it says not matte)...

This happens in a Dillon blue lens as well. The colored lenses are always going to appear less matte than the neutral color ones like black and silver.

I have some blue Dillons of my own that I can compare with my black Dillons. The black Dillons are definitely more matte in finish. I had my hands on a silver Dillons as well.

The degrees of matte finish as far as Dillons go is this:

Silver > Black > Blue

All three are matte, but the Blue is the least matte of them in appearance with silver being the most matte. Mariener lenses exhibit the same downfalls, from what I've seen. I haven't commented on Dillon gold because I haven't had my hands on one so I am not going to make any judgements on it.

The relationship appears to be directly proportional...

That blue Dillon you linked wasn’t NIR...

It was an active lens, which is still more matte than the blue lens the guy wearing an Oakley was wearing lol

Please refer to @YakuzaFloralGangsta or @DeepWaterVortex NIR Blue

....and I’ll prove it when I get my NIR Blues for my XX...

Original NIR

I think brand loyalty is blinding you, bud. This quote specifically states it's the original NIR lens and not the active NIR. I know what the active NIR looks like and realize it's not the same thing.

I have a NIR Blue as well, it's less matte than the Black NIR I have. Before you go to say they're fake as you've implied before - I've sent them in and got replacement lenses for them. You can't do that if they're fake.

The thing with Blue Dillons are - yes they're matte, but they are less matte compared to other lenses Dillon offers. Everybody takes pictures of the most flattering angles of a Dillon lens and for obvious reasons, but at other angles they simply aren't as matte as Dillon's other offering.

Heck, you even state there's a way to get the matte finish to show best.

Taken from Mariener’s instagram, you’ll see their silver lens is much more matte in appearance than their blue or red lenses. This same phenomenon occurs with Dillons. Perhaps, that’s why a red Dillon lens has been delayed for two years now.

What would it take to get them cut for O frames directly from you guys? I mean if Linegear does it you can too... that would make me order a crap ton of lenses.

I'd definitely be spending a lot of money too if they'd do this.

Two entirely different angles =\= comparison.

Them be “fightin’ words”!!

Oh they are... they are not getting my money. Don’t care how matte they make their lenses or how ridiculously expensive they are.

@cacatman you think “Mariener” would entertain another kick start for some bigger donor lenses?
