🦘Layman's Lens Clarity - Dillons vs Oakley vs Mariener (cacatman)

True! It’s just funny because there is probably a die hard Dillon fan who’s really upset right now. Then again the test subjective like you said so results will vary. You should have thrown a walleva set in there for shïts and giggles.

What do you have against walleva? They are... Good lenses?

@Jmgarcia, I only have 6 pairs of Walleva lenses. And I left them back in Adelaide.

In order to reach those lofty goals of more accurate information for the global Oakley community, one must be prepared to sacrifice oneself on behalf of others and be prepared to push one's body to beyond the limits of possibilities, nay, human endurance itself. You will do well to heed these words, my young apprentice.

Hope you got some action once your labours of science were done

LOL. OK, I'm going to try that right now.... "Honey, given my hours of service to the Oakley community, how 'bout I get the reward I deserve?"


.....nope, for some reason, it didn't work.

I was going to say it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. But that sounds really bad. So don't do that.

I got nothing against them but they have been compared to Pringle lids as far a quality.

Pringles can lids have the wrong base curve for x metals. So I don't use them.

@cacatman I should point out that it is hard to compare a regular lens with a matte lens. I obviously like the way it scores subjectively, just fyi that the way it diffuses gives a regular lens a head start as it is optically clear, or should be. It is a sweet spot between contrast and matteness. For instance these lenses could be super super matte, but then you'd be looking through a dirty glass.

Personally, I think that you've got the mix just right. IMHO, the tradeoff of having an absolutely stunning looking pair of lenses from the outside does outweigh the small amount of visual acuity compromise that could be subjectively demonstrated. I wouldn't change ALL my Oakley lenses for matte lenses anyhow, but it's definitely an attractive lens to use for casual daily use. One can easily see what one has to see with them.

For "specialist" applications, I'd definitely use other lenses.

I have imperfect corrected vision normally anyhow and so, I'd probably even accept a higher matte finish and slightly less clarity and still be more than happy to use them. But I was just interested in seeing exactly how different subjectively they really were. They were certainly not terrible. Normal people reading the bottom line would have 6/6 vision at 3 metres. All the lenses performed better than that.

I'd be interested in his assessment and opinion of @Bonz-1 with his polished mars pair. If my pair is a BMW, his polished pair is definitely the Ferrari!!
