Three Lenses that make you want to wear sunglasses

for me

  1. nonpolar serengeti vermilion (80s-mid 90s) for flat light snow, general flat light glare, cloud watching
  2. nonpolar serengeti driver (brown, 90s) for driving
  3. maui jim neutral grey (pp2 technology introduced mid 00s) for everything too bright for vermilions

i want max contrast and minimal color shift. yes, i must live with with some amount of rose or brown shift (in the old nonpolar serengetis) to get that contrast, but definitely want minimal color shift to the degree practicable. thus, i consider mj neutral grey to be the best modern lens for my goals.

Big heads rejoice! Are you In Search Of a unique, wide fit frame?

Those familiar with the eyewearenthusiast sub are probably familiar with bigeyejig, but for those who don’t check out those waters, he’s a pretty cool cat and enthusiast who designed his own brand, In Search Of, and these are his first model - the Second Impact.

These are WIDE and comfy. I have a 7 3/8 hat size head and they’re possibly a touch large. Width is actually terrific, with no adjustments.

There’s a lot of things I love about this pair. Purple. Gorgeous translucent acetate. Nice hinges. Unique shape and feel. The lenses are very light in tint, so great for over cast and indoors, but not a great pair for bright sun. You’d want to change lenses for that.

The eye socket coverage is actually really good, and they fit nice and close. The acetate feels and looks great. My poor photography doesn’t do them justice.

Anyway - if you’re looking for a unique, LARGE pair, these might be for you! He has some opticians carrying these in Maryland, Vancouver, or LA.

Is this American Optical a fake?

This is USED Orginal Pilot I bought recently on a flea market app.

The markings and other details are completely different from those on genuine items, so I strongly suspect it is a counterfeit.
