    New Canadian 1.74

    Essilor has released its 1.74 in Panamic and Single Vision.

    For the Panamic the parameters are +8.00 to max -20.00, and a -4.00 cyl with a -20.00 max combo.

    Single vision it is +10.00 to -18.00, and a -4.00 cyl, max combo -18.00.

    Stock -4.00 to -10.00, and a -2.00 cyl.



    Finally real parameters. The stock lens parameters suck, but no 15D limits from Nikon.

    Have no idea. Canada has had the 1.74 for a few years, but has been a Nikon exclusive (surfaced).

    America's main problem is legislation.

    Snitgirl,

    If I could suggest contacting your Essilor lab/rep -- SV and/or Panamic 1.74 may be available in the U.S. already. I refer you to the following thread:
