Heh All, I got asked by a member regarding the match of lenses on Eye Jackets. He wanted to know whether the New Generation EJ's would fit New Eye Jackets or visa-versa. So I said I was sure they would: however I said I'll check for them. So when I tried to put my Brain-Dead lenses in my Eye Jackets, they wouldn't go in fully. Anyone know whether the lens size is different for the New Gereation EJ's, please?

There were two EJ lens sizes if you didn’t know

I assumed they were all interchangeable, but let me guess: the ones by Sux are different to EJ's and NEJ's?

I’m talking about OEM lenses back during the original EJ and NEJ production.

I was lead to believe there's no difference between the size of Intial and NEJ's. I can't recall having tried to swap lenses over from the different types. So, you're telling me they made the lenses different between EJ's and NEJ's, or was there an alteration in sizing at any stage within the production of either?

Trixtar and I are both curious about this one. From the donor lens reference guide posted on the forum, I think I read somewhere the EJ 1.0 lenses were smaller than the NEJ lenses, so those would not be interchangeable.

What I wasn't sure is if the new collectors edition Eye Jackets, like the Braindead (which seemingly have the same design choices as the older NEJ) could be lens swappable with the NEJ as well.

My understanding was certain frame finishes required ever so slightly smaller lenses. Think of the fmj finishes for instance. Obvious reason there. I believe when you bought lenses sets, it was marked after the lens description on the sku tag. This topic came up before here. Have you tried searching?

If the truth be told, no, I was just trying to ascertain the reason for this oddity after @Shmo asked me, earlier. I thought maybe this was going to be the best solution.

The new Braindead, Satisfy, Palace etc.. NEJ’s are NOT interchangeable w/ the old EJ & NEJ’s
The new lux re-issued drops are 1 mm wider and taller. I confirmed this w/ a senior member of the backend team today. He said they made the new versions opticals deeper/thinner allowing for a bigger lens fit.

This makes for the Eye Jacket Redux to no longer be a candidate for a donor lens due to the smaller width of it unfortunately.. I measured one out to cut yesterday and it’s a hair shy.
