    Younger Adage short PAL

    100% @ 13mm
    90% @ 11mm

    and virtually no distortion above the 180?


    Where's the press release?

    I sent Tony at The Lens Guru all the technical info I got from Younger on it. Now we just need some maps :)

    PS, if anyone wants a PDF copy of the Press Release or ECP flyer, let me know and I'll email it to you :)

    Why poly. as the first offering? Had my hopes up until I saw that. Hope CR-39 won't be too far behind.

    Don't they plan to make it with some other material than poly?

    Currently they plan on making it in Clear Poly and NuPolar Poly. I'm guessing they will wait and see what the demand is for other materials. I'm surprised that there are no Transitions (even in poly) though.

    Hopefully it will come in Trilogy soon!! Can't wait to try one of my own. I love the Amp mini, but I also love to support Younger when ever I can.

    Seems like too little too late. Who buys Younger and doesn't generate in house? How many of those can justify a backside coater for Ploy? Who sells Poly w/ out modern AR? Too little too late, sorry. Small B is going out of fashion, Digital is coming in, the Adage is in the wash, sad really.

    If the Adage comes in at an economical price-point it certianly wouldn't be in the wash. If offered in CR-39 or in an MR series resin I would keep a selection of the most common BC's and ADD's in stock.

    I think it can fill out the traditionally-surfaced-for-less market?
