    Any interest in Tokai Lenses in North America?

    Hi, As the title states, Is there any interest in Tokai Lenses in North America? Or a better question, Is North America aware of Tokai Lenses?

    We are always interested in something that makes sense.
    I thought it was a low frills brand and did look at them years ago as a less expensive free form but folks at that point where not that thrilled with he lenses.

    What do you offer? Can you offer trivex or tribrid?

    Hi Craig, Tokai are mostly known for it's 1.76 index Bi-As lens. The 1.76 index lens is available in S/V and PAL forms, also in Transitions. These lenses are far from "No Frills" and are causing a stir as they are usually not available to most chain stores.

    We have used them for 18 months or so, great for high plus prescriptions come out amazingly thin!

    Is this a poll or are you planning on offering the lenses in the US? I see no indication that you plan on selling them here by your lack of comments?
