who does the updating to this list i have some information add in regards to the m2xl

Just leave a comment and tag me and I will update. I welcome any corrections or updates as well.

It’s not necessary to provide the following info, but it would be helpful to tell me:-
1. Whether original etching is preserved post cutting or not
2. Whether hand cut or machine cut (hand cuts mean smaller donor lenses can be used)
3. Is the donor lens the same BC (base curvature)
4. If polarized donor lenses are used, is the correct orientation maintained or are angles changed (@Chris A Hardaway can make more knowledgeable comments about this)
5. If a donor lens does NOT work, this is helpful to know so others don’t try.

Cheers, and thanks!!!

New Hybrid ( abbreviated length ) Partial etching ( half of the m on prizm only half of the M and P for prizm P ) hand cut
Gen 2 Hybrid Hand cut Partial etching ( at least from the pictures i have )
67 ( update shortly )

Regular M2 lens

Hybrid S etching will be lost hand cut
Sweep etching will be lost hand cut

Can you please specify which M frames these are? I am not familiar with all the different versions.

e.g. Hybrid S reference - There are M frame Hybrid S, Mag M Frame Hybrid S, Pro M Frame Hybrid S. Are they all the same size?

Sweep has multiple versions, too.

It would be easiest for me if you go here - O-Review and let me know which hybrid S, sweep and V m-frames you are referring to.

I wear pro m frame so I cut for that frame. As I’ve been cutting more and more I’ve been find out that each lens has to be to trimmed to fit the frame nothing is exact like X metals each frame is different. I haven’t cut a lens for a mag m. The only folding arm m frame I’ve cut for was a new m frame but that was with a goggle lens.

Thanks for this.

Sorry about this last question, but what is the "V" in your comment here, "V etching will be lost hand cut."? I can't find a Pro M-frame "V" frame. Sorry about the (maybe) obvious questions. I just want to make sure everything is as clear as possible.
