Thanks for the info !
Just gotta get them tuned pretty loose.
I want to maybe get extra lenses
I was told first gen may not be swapped with other Juliet’s ?

Yea the later gens don’t match up as well @Chris A Hardaway can cut to match lenses for them and also sells lenses on here that probably can work

In most cases this is true. I wonder if @THE X-MAN agrees.. Many first gen were smaller orbitals, not to mention the left eye (orbital)!frequently seemed to be smaller. So I'll often cut let lens slightly smaller to fit a serialized (or known) first gen.

From my experience, I have been able to install OEM lenses with no issues into gen 1 and gen 2 frames with some being more tight than others. But I have had issues with some lenses with a gen 4 XM finish frame and gen 5 carbon frame. The left orbital would not close on both of those frames on a few sets of lenses but then the same lenses would fit perfectly in the gen 1 frames. Some lenses also slid a little in the left orbital if I tested it but for the most part it fit functionally well. I’ve had to play musical chairs swapping lenses out to solve this .

There are a few other threads on this topic to.
