Did you know Amazon has some sort of partnership with Carrera?

HT will probably disappoint you as well. Not really "contrasty" just yellow/green tint to brighten things up.

My first time putting them on, I liked them, but almost never since.
The lighting has to be 'just right' with three of my M.J. Ho'okipa.

Too overcast & it is like putting a veil down over your face.
You would think the Maui-HT lens would excel at overcast days, but alas, not today.

It was fine yesterday in relatively sunny, but not TOO sunny, conditions.
I put them on this morning at 08:00 & mentally thought "Blach!"

Put the Smith ChromaPop Contrast-Rose lens on & carried on with my wayward son.
they are not polarized, but they do brighten things up very well

To that, I am strongly considering trying these:

>>Smith Founder-Slim ChromaPop Silver Mirror<<

anyone have any experience with the discontinued Smith Optics Founder Slim? & what looks like an Amber lens with a silver mirror

the Maui-Brilliant material has great Clarity

I was doing some reading on the back porch & thought these are great as readers!

The Kaenon Arcata-SR arrived, Ultra Gold Mirror, which is a Brown 12% VLT base (SR-91 Ultra material):

on the left is Maui Jim High-Contrast Bronze in SuperThin Glass
it is like comparing a plain grey-base lens to a real Bronze lens

I am in rubber-glove with Kaenon!

Saw what I thought was a Sedona lens Serengeti on FB-Marketplace,
so this morning I drove about 66 miles to buy them:

What do Serengeti : Sedona owners think, is that Sedona or the Drivers lens?

The model is 6601 : Las Ramblas

same photo as above, only this one was not a screengrab on a High Dynamic-Range Windows 11 screen:

They seem incredibly washed out to me. I questioned their rosiness in the seller's kitchen & they insisted that they are.

I thought I was losing my mind all the way home.
Maybe I am just one of those people who cannot see Rose as well as others?
like the people who think that Coriander tastes like soap

I now have THREE sets of Kaenon Burnet Mid
two black frames, one is thicker & more rubbery than the other
one of those has the scratch dot at the pupil on the left lens, the other has plain grey lenses

& a fresh tortoise pair with the same Ultra Coastal Green lens as the one I dot-scratched the mirror on

I may drop a Fuse-AMP Nova-Mirror into one of these, since lately I am reading that is Fuse's most vivid.

I think those look like Sedona. The thing I don’t know is usually photochromic lenses lose their ability to ‘change’ over time, maybe those lens are old to the point they aren’t changing and that makes them look washed out?

(Disclosure- it’s been awhile since I’ve owned a Sedona lens)

 

[Brad_W]

Fair point, I will take a walk now, in the sun of course, & see if they get any more Saturated.

and

They darkened up, but not in a Rosy way, more in a Blackish/Grey way:

if this really is Sedona, I am SO done with Serengeti


I did finally order a pair of Guide's Choice Smith last night, which seems to be their most popular frame.
loaded with ChromaPop PolarChromic Ignitor

The lens I thought was an Ignitor in my Parallel 2 is really a ChromaPop Contrast Rose (non-polarized).

addendum:

the more I research it, the more I think it is the Drivers lens, but even so, this is the best they could do?

I think the lens in this is terrible.

 

[Brad_W]

I am thoroughly confused now, same glasses, hours later:

yep, it IS rosy, after all

I never was good at sending or receiving Subtle.


addendum:
& somehow I missed it until just now, they are not polarized

 

[Brad_W]

the Super Rosiest lens I have yet to experience:

but, to look at them from the front, you would never guess it:

Originally Thirty Five dollhairs, &
they give me good Rose, like you've never seen,
& I only paid Seventeen, Seventeen!

Mr. Winger knows what I am talking about:
