    Nikon W

    Hi all,

    Wondering about your experiences with the Nikon W lens design. We have been using it a lot in the last 6 months with mostly good success, but lately have had a few unhappy patients. Any thoughts?

    Nikon W

    Nikon W is made from an "I" or a "GO" with an atoric back depending on your fitting ht.

    Keep in mind, there is nothing that special about these lenses, same front design, not nearly as good as a true individualized lens.

    "I" seems to work quite well, "GO" not so much!!!
    This seems to hold true withe the standard "I" and "GO" also, I will not use the "W" with above a 17mm ht because then they use a "GO" and I get mixed results.

    When Ordering a Nikon W you must state it you want a long or short 12 or 14 or they will just choose for you, depending on the frame. Patient will not have great success if they have been in a long and changing to a short. I have had great success with it when stating 12 or 14 corridor. Good luck.
