Added these lovely Matsudas to my collection for use as weekend sunglasses. I'm looking at an 85% tint because it is bright and sunny all the year round here.
Would the Zeiss burgundy work with these palladium white frames or should I pick another colour? (My skin tone is best described as a warm brown)
I can choose tints offered by Zeiss, Hoya and Essilor.
I used to have the Millican Smith 25L roll top and loved it to death. However, I end up losing it around the time the company went under.
They seem to be back now and making backpacks again.
I just wanted to know if the backpacks they sell now have retained their previous excellent quality or if their quality has gone down.
These were my favourite pair of sunglasses until the Akoni Skyracer captivated me. They’re beautifully crafted and the stained glass lacquering on the side shields is stunning.
However, as I don’t like leaving things sitting around unused, I decided to gift these to my optically gifted partner to assuage my guilt.
She chose the tint and I’m really stoked with how these have come out. I used to wear them with the Zeiss magma orange as they matched the side shields, but now think I should have gone with these instead as they look amazing and would have helped better in bright sunlight. The tint also adds a really pleasant hue to the world. These are stock plano lenses but I did push for duravision gold as I find they make lenses ridiculously easy to clean.
I just wish I could have had these polarized but the feature wasn’t available for this tint.
Please forgive the poor photography. I’m not very good with composition.
