Prizm Sapphire Polarized - brown or grey base color?

The rosey tint may seem a bit much at first, but you'll get used to them. Makes everything look so nice!

Imo its one of the "less rosey" that ive used but it definitely makes things pop and has a much warmer feel..

I'm glad I stumbled on to this thread. I've tried the Prizm Polarized a few times and just today noticed the pinkish tint. I was comparing it directly to a Black Prizm Polarized so the difference seemed quite extreme. Like one of the previous posters, I'm a photography enthusiast so a tinted lens may not be ideal.

Anyway, I've read a lot from my searches but one thing I can't find is why Sapphire Iridium Polarized has a reddish or rosy tint. Is it a necessary mix to bring out contrast? Were these lenses specifically made for a specific activity? Finally, how do they hold up as an everyday or one and only pair?

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread but I thought it would be better than starting another one on an already very widely discussed subject.

I'm still unsure what polarized lenses I should use as a photographer without any tint... I guess Black Prizm Polarized is the way to go then. Although I like the blue mirror effect the prizm sapphire have on the outside...

You should try to find old ice iridium lenses...

+1 on Ice iridium.
With a cool and soothing neutral grey base, it should tick all your requested requirements.
