Hail Mary pattern...

**Uilleann** · 10-06-2022, 04:16 PM

Hoping the collective here might be able to help a guy out of a bind. I'm trying to find a pattern or a trace I might be able to sent to our lab that they could cut a pair of lenses down for me.

In particular, I'm trying to find a proper trace for a Safilo Tommy Hilfiger TF 1636, 52/14/31.7/54.9/140, zyl.

Our lab sent us the 55, but I'm not certain it would downsize correctly if they were just to try and shrink it dimensionally, as I know sometimes the traces do change a bit between sizings. The 52 has been discontinued at Safilo because of COURSE it has, and our own tracer is currently not set up to send files at all.

This is our plan B, but if this unicorn isn't easy to find, we'll work out a plan C of some sort.

Thanks all!

You must the patient old lenses that you can measure accurately with a vernier and send the box a and b to the lab.

You say you have it in your own tracer? Make a demo and use it as sizer.

We traced it once years ago, but it wasn't saved. Our edger is also currently dead - which is why this job got sent out in the first place. Eventually we'll be back up and running on that front here, but for now I'm needing to try and expedite. Anyway, if there's a trace file out there for the 52 that I might be able to send on to my wholesale lab - greatly appreciated! If not...we'll sort it somehow.
