    My new specs

    Here's a shot of my new glasses. The lenses are iCoat's Inscribe back-surface progressive with their Aura super-hard AR in the Kishimoto 711 shape (which I designed for them) with my favorite double-bridge configuration. I like the doublebar because it's unique...and because I can!

    Hey, that double bar looks like the perfect cigarette holder while you play your bass! :bbg:


    Looks great Dragon. How do you like the Inscribe lenses?

    You know it's only a matter of time before someone puts a second set of temples on a pair like that with the lower endpiece (maybe cable?) wrapping up around the bottom of the ear..... or into a piercing..... or both just plug into pierced holes in the ear.....

    So, how is the Inscribe?
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    Only worn them for a few hours. I might have them a bit too low, so I might reverse the bridge bars. But, so far they compare favorably to my ID Lifestyles.

    I think it's the angle. I make the holes in a 3mm square, 3mm between holes both vertically and horizontally. And I drill by hand.

    Damn fine looking lenses Dragon!!! Great job capturing the low reflectance of Aura too. You do some pretty fun work. I am glad that you like the lens since I know how much you love your ID. If we were in Pro forum I would tell you all the price but let's just say it is no more than any of your top tier conventional progressives. PM me for more info.

    Well, after wearing them for awhile, I do notice there is not as much intermediate area as the ID Lifestyle. Otherwise, OK.
