    We need help locating a stock finished lenses in Plus powers with AR in larger blank sizes like 73-75mm.
    Materials could be CR39-1.56-Poly-1.60 with AR...

    CR-39 - Hoya has them in a 75mm - http://www.hoyalensofamerica.com/~site-media/5/199.pdf

    Poly - Optima has them in a 76mm

    I'm not even sure if anyone makes a stock 1.56 any more. I think Somo was the last, and they're discontinuing it last I heard.

    All of the 1..60 I know of are 65/70 in plus powers.
    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.

    Hardly see any Plus lenses on the Hoya list! Also is this their premium or basic AR?
    1.56 is made and actually quite good, but not in larger blanks....
