Thank you, this is what I've been saying. At the right angles, it looks matte. I'm glad you're admitting it.

So which sude of the fence are you on ??

First you say dillons look matte when there is no sunlight....

Then you agree with me that dillons look matte in the sun....

At some angles it will look matte and at other angles, it has reflections just like the Mariener exhibits - that's the only point I'm making. The Black and Silver lens don't show these reflections nearly as much.

With the Mariener having a polycarbonate base, their shatter resistance will be superior to Dillon's CR-39.

Too bad they're unlikely to be prism compensated at this price point.

Haha, I honestly don't want to spend time arguing about damn lenses - they're sunglasses at the end of the day. I'm just making the point that objectivity is important because both of these are third party no matter which way you slice it. So, objective comparisons must be made and its exceptionally hard to do that when people spend $200+ on a pair of lenses.

I haven't made any comments regarding clarity, etc, about Mariener because we have no way of knowing, but after owning two pairs of Dillons - I know at what angles Dillons look matte and which ones they don't. I also didn't pay $280 for my pairs either though, so I'm able to have more of an objective opinion on them.

@Marien im thinking we need to get some samples out to those of us in the public viewing sector for some high quality reviews... Anyone know someone that is a YouTuber that would be willing to do a review on them. That way we can get a sense of quality?

Seriously anyone at all that does that soft of video review stuff around?

This is hilarious. @Marien please let us know when you have some 8.75 BC lenses in that fancy matte red. I wouldn't mind trying out a matte lens just for S&G.
