    Rick,
    I'm presuming you would like a picture of an uncut lens. Do you have a preference to which AR is used, (green or blue?). This will give me a chance to use my macro on my camera.

    Uncut yes, Preferably green, thanks a lot.
    Hope you have more luck than me I think I may have to buy a new camera.

    Much appreciated,
    Rick

    Unfortunately, what makes AR great is what makes AR extremely hard to photograph. How do you photograph a transparent product with no reflections? Very, very difficult.

    Here's an idea: get PhotoShop and just draw a circle with a thin white border. There. You have your uncut lens with ZERO reflections.

    Yeah, I know I'm a smart@$$. lol

    Like having no lenses at all...

    Why don't you simulate an AR lens by photographing someone wearing a regular pair, and then an AR pair, but on the AR pair simply remove the lenses ?

    I went on Google first, found myself wading. Plus I end up getting sidelined and searching on 'Liz Hurley'

    This picture's been bugging me for a few days.

    It's not what you asked for, but it makes me feel better for sharing.
