Scalpel and Valve as donor lens for XX

[saulsaul]

Obscure question.

Anyone know if the scalpel Asian fit lenses were 8.75 curve like non-Asian?

I got a lead on some and I know the standard lenses make XX donors..... Hoping the Asian ones would too.

Yes, they're the same as standard fit

Thanks that's helpful.
So what differentiates the Asian scalpel?

The nose bombs as with many other models

They aren't any wider? I thought back then Asian fit lenses didn't fit standard frames. Hmmm.

What I thought too...

I need an authoritative answer! Anyone got sets of each lens to compare?!

Being wider shouldn't affect the cutting..since it's the base curve that you're mainly concerned with,should it?

Good point. I basically want to confirm that Scalpel Asia lenses are usable for XX cuts.

confirmed. done it before. just the nosebombs for this model. there are models with a flatter profile categorized asian fit, of whose the lenses vary slightly in fit, not curvature. cant recall which model right now tho...

Superb - thank you.

Well don't forget the Badman. 8.75 in regular but curvature 6 (?) I think in Asia fit! Don't want that to happen when I cut for XX!
