Sapphire Fade

[MoparFin]

Anyone got a pair with the Sapphire Fade lenses yet? I like the way they look, but hate all the frames they come in.

Maybe I can get the lenses to fit in a Jury frame? hmmmmm. Thoughts from the custom lens cutting guys?

Thanks Frank!
So the "sapphire fade" is the collection. Frames have Sapphire gradient temples.
The lenses are called "Prizm Sapphire". I'm being told they are prizm snow (not prizm snow Jade, not prizm snow torch)...
They are only available on a flatter 6 base curve at this time, so not good for many custom cuts.
Might work in a Jupiter factory lite... But not a jury

I did order my first Prizm Tungsten set on an 8 base curve... They are coming from Italy (thanks luxottica, not California, gripe gripe).

I'll be going them for a Juliet or XX Xmetal in a few weeks. They might work for a jury, I just don't own a frame to test.

Are the prizm snow lenses in evzero path, radar ev and jawbreaker and these new prizm sapphire lenses same?

That's what I heard. I haven't seen any marketing material on them, nor have I seen in person. Anyone?

Anyone know what the light transmission % is for the prizm sapphire?

I have the Prizm Sapphire Main Link's. The base tint is the new Prizm universal, basically a grey tint. Its the same tint used on the Prizm "Black" series. Prizm snow is a rose base.

I've got frames with all three of these. If we have sun here in Wisconsin tomorrow I'll see if I can get some comparative camera shots through the lenses.

@MicahS for the win! Thank you!

So they aren't the same. Prizm Snow has Rose base, Prizm Sapphire has universal (gray) base.
