Bigweed Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Bit expensive i know, but are these worth the money. Do they really give you a better picture. Whats the difference between these and Max Orange - are these predominantly for orange clays <<Hidefspecs>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanibaby Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 All the world champs seem to be using hidefspex nowadays - so they must be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaseone Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 In the time it takes to make 1 Hidef lens you could make 60,000 Oakleys :blink: they are opticaly correct Max Orange is just a lens colour and will brighten Blaze clays as if they are on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryl Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 They are the best that you can get and I strongly recommend them to anyone and everyone. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 These were on my shopping list last year when I was in the 'new hobby shopping frenzy' but I found that they weren't that comfortable. I have an extraordinarily large beak and they didn't feel right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Despite the horrific price, I bit the bullet and bought some of the "blades" last year. The set came with two frames and three lenses. I had Oakleys before. The clarity and definition with these is fantastic and you forget you even have them on. Having bought and used them, if I lost them tomorrow I would go and buy the same again as they are superb. Only feedback I would have is they dont come with the darkest lenses in the set so a further investment is required if you want the full set. The max orange was the new lenses range. They are expensive but in the grand scheme of things they will last for years. Thoroughly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Exactly where i am now - when does it stop :blink: It subsides a bit once you have all the necessary kewl gear, but never totally goes away. I was looking around Essex Gun desperate to buy something, but couldn't find anything I wanted. So I asked them to get me a Guerini hat, bag and gun slip. Help me.....

Bigweed Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Only feedback I would have is they dont come with the darkest lenses in the set so a further investment is required if you want the full set. So it is possible to buy extra lenses then. There i go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Yep! - the blades came with the darkest being a "40" LTM which is the amount of tint and light coming through. They do a darker "25" and a "15" and then at the other end a clear. Although I think the Panthers that you are looking at are different to the blades and come with the 40, 25 and 15 so the darker range. The Blades which I have come with the lighter tint lenses end "80", "65" and "40" Edited June 2, 2009 by Dibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blades which I have come with the lighter tint lenses end "80", "65" and "40" Seen a set of 3 with 15, 40 and 65 - seems a nice compromise Or is there a better combination Edited June 2, 2009 by Bigweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 That combination would be my personal choice. I use the 40 and 65 all the time. The 80 I have has never been out the packet yet in nearly a year. a 15 would be good and i will invest at some point, so in my opinion and im no expert it seems like a good combination, as opposed to having all at the darker end and having to potentially spend more money.
