    I've never seen that laid out exactly, but depending on material the LifeStyle blanks are between 70mm and 75mm. Also you can't decenter them much if at all, so they can be quite limiting. In general...

    It's not that Trixex is too hard to work with, it's that it's notably harder to work than other materials without offering significant benefits. I'd rather have optical professionals be a bit more...
