    Bushnell purchased them a couple of years ago, so that might help you out. I deal with Centennial who distributed them in Canada. You can still do them in an RX through their labs. They now have a green-grey lens and polarized. The also recently came out with a new poly lens for their 4-points. I just got one for myself and it is unbelievable.

    Hey, I used to sell Serengetti several years ago, and loved their lenses. I just found their frame quality to be spotty. Has that improved?

    Since their sale to Bushnell they have really improved. The frames are better quality, and the designs are a lot more modern.

    You used to be able to get them from Prestige Optics as well. Their number is (800) 272-9226.

    Good Luck!

    The processing time we have for our lab is rather long. Up to 10 weeks. Always loved Serengeti and am glad they are keeping current with the polar-max lenses which will no doubt be copied by Revo.

    From what I remember I don't think it makes a difference. There are limited choices of Serengeti frames customers can choose. We farm out the jobs. Can't remember to whom. Strangely enough we've only done 2 in about a year and a half.

    Our Serengetti sales dropped almost the minute the company sold out and left Sarasota. We still have a lab in Sarasota that does theit lenses, for the few who still get them.
