Top 5 Favorite Lenses

[Carrera1963]

Daily Prizm Polarized
Road Prizm
OO + red polar
Ice polar
Ruby polar

Least favorite? Fire Iridium. It's absolutely hideous.

Fire seems to get a lot of love here, but I'm with you (though maybe not expressed quite as vehemently!). Not at all keen on it to look through.

In no particular order:

Fire Iridium Polarized

True but its great to look AT. Depends on ones priorities. This thread should really say favorite to look through and favorite to look at....and which is your priority. For me my look through list would only have one shared lens with my look at list (24k) but my priority is what a lens looks like looking AT it so my favs for looking through I don't own.

So here comes a revised list based on some multiple criteria:

In pretty much the order I prefer them- top 5 favs to LOOK THROUGH:

OO BIP
24K
VR28 BIP
Titanium Iridium Polarized
BIP

And the previously aforementioned list, which is the list based on looking AT...In no particular order

24K
Ice
Fire (only in Polarized)
Violet
Emerald
Ruby- I'm including this as a 6th because the caveat is it has to be a deeper red pair or a custom cut that trims the more yellow/orange edges.


As many of those in polarized as possible (and I own at least ONE of each of those in polarized variant except Emerald and Ruby-doesn't exist)

Priority (to the extent I don't own anything in the look through list but 24K) goes to how they look externally.

Looking At or through, it's terrible(IMO).

The color of the tint changes too much throughout the lens for my taste, and it just looks bad.

The only ones that look worse are the counterfeit ones that look like a rainbow.
