    Does anyone know where to get a folding half-eye

    frame, in metal, similar to the now discontinued LUX Half-Fold?

    Thanks in advance for the answer!

    Hy-Tech stocks the Slimfold and it's a good alternative too

    You might try. . .

    EncoreJim. He's a member here and I bought some from him. The quality was decent and the price was right.

    I do not work for Encore and have no association with them other than that as an account.

    Good luck!!

    I have two Marcolin folding half eyes, I don't know the style numbers off the top of my head, but it comes in two different sizes, and I have a gold and a gunmetal one.
