XX as donor for Penny - quick question

[saulsaul]

Will an OEM XX lens make a donor for a Penny? I assume so but just want to double check.

Yes, but you must be very desperate to chop an XX lens for the sake of a Penny....

It was a Big Taco chop to an XX that I'm thinking of chopping to a Penny.

By the way, will a Juliet work as a Penny donor?

Yes

What color XX lens is that? If I were you I'd consider selling the XX instead of chopping it... unless it's a lame color like non-iridium offerings

Why are custom XX lenses more valuable than Penny ones?

How many people wear XX over Penny? Do you believe there's a greater demand for custom penny lenses over XX? Just my 2 cents.

Genuinely have no perspective on which is more popular... Sounds like it's definitely XX from what you say. In which case, I will keep the XX chop and commission a new one for the Penny, using an unloved Juliet!

Appreciate the advice.

Agreed, save the XX! Flak jacket xlj is readily available and is a fine donor for penny, even polarized!
