+Red Iridium Frogs? Anyone have them?

Yes, you are right. Wish it looked more red though...

@OakleyFreak did a good comparison here..
 
Little late to join in the party, but here's a quick comparison I did for someone else who was convinced what they had was violet irid due to them mostly looking purple, but really they were +Red irid.

I have to photograph some pairs I plan on selling, so I'll do a comparison between what I have in my quiver. The Gen 2 +Red looks much more red in my opinion and closer to the torch iridium they offer now, versus the more recent +Red

Mid - +Red Polarized
Bot - Violet Iridium

Gen 2 +Red | Gen 3 +Red | Gen 3 +Red Polarized

Note the color of the frame does slightly change their appearance whether it appears more purple or more red from what I've experienced...

The polarized version imo is a more even balance between the purple/red while the non-polar one appears more purple with red upon certain angles of lighting. The Gen 2 are much more red dominant versus the gen 3, maybe done on purpose to more easily distinguish from OO Red or Ruby?
