@Ventruck Outstanding review buddy. Thank you. I may actually consider these aftermarket to purchase...and I never do that for sport lenses. Ever. There's enough Oakley product out there, even for my dinosaur original Radars that it's just not worth it for me to consider. But a set of these to try alongside the others might make an interesting summer project.

Would warn you that I'm personally (Walleva themselves didn't say anything yet) not expecting there to be a Radar or any shield offerings. I'm saying this because other taper-corrected or premium offerings of brands haven't put out shield lenses.

And from there I'm assuming it's because production starts in respect to blanks for base curves, and then cuts are made accordingly. When a shield design is introduced, then another line (or multiple) altogether needs to be made. On top of that, shields can finish differently from one another by more than just base curve. Interfaces have their specific hooks and such which could demand more QC — or so I'm guessing.

(just lost my Juliets with this lens, Doh!)

Sad for your loss. One consolation is that VR28BIP is one of the few Juliet lenses that are still available OEM without having to resort to custom cutters.

Of course they won't make any for Radars. That's how my life typically works, and why I frequently use the word "dinosaur" when I talk about the things I use. Oh well...such is life.

But I can hope!
