I was wondering if @cacatman might be interested in starting a list of OEM Iridium finishes/colors, and notes about them? I'm mainly interested in how mirrored different lenses are, and keep getting confused with some of these newer lenses.
For example, I have older Torch lenses from Triggerman and Straightlink that have awesome mirrored effect. However, when the Sutro S was released with Torch lens, I was shocked when I put them on and found absolutely no mirror at all.
This morning, I was surprised in a good way, opening a new pair of Radar EV XS with PRIZM Road lens. I was concerned that I would run into the same problem with no mirror, but alas, the PRIZM Road lens has an awesome mirror.
Is anyone interested in starting a list of the different lens colors/finishes, and rating the level of mirror on them? I'm also open to a more comprehensive list, including but not limited to, base color, actual color you see, what kind of daylight they are best for.
I was thinking of a 1-10 scale with a plain Grey lens being a 1 mirror and Fire lens being a 10 mirror, Sapphire 10, Violet 7 or 8, Jade 8 or 9, G26 9 or 10, PRIZM Road 8, Black Iridium 8 or 9, etc.
What do you think?
