    Interesting.

    Looks like a small and narrower sweet spot with less magnification.

    How many hours will it last between recharging?

    How much will it retail for?

    Blue Jumper Get ready to do the frame adjustments.............................

    Big E will buy the company before the launch of the latest products and market them through "Frames Direct" at the best discount possible. No more need for eyetest's as the lens will do it to whatever distance you look at.

    Get ready to do the frame adjustments.

    Be sure to add Aspex to the mix as they're providing the frames.

    I hope it's better than the " At Last". What a disaster! Never again . Sorry !

    Have I made it clear that I have found this lens to be junk? You are better off to use a round 28 or 25. The intermediate zone is small and annoying and un-useable but it does get in the way.
