Very informative. I'm in the same field as you are. I have more years experience than you but you taught me something valuable. Now , no longer will I reflexively recommend gray or brown or green. Thank you. I respect you and your knowledge enormously. From now on , for any client that is inquisitive about tints , I will just show him or her this video. In a way , you will be doing my job. Hope you don't mind. I love your content.

[@kgupta2205]

Nothing like a sincere honest dedicated salesman

[@patrickklein2765]

Fantastic comparison Robert! It was so good to see the tints one after another. The Sweet Violet was truly an enhancing tint. Really lends itself to an enriched vision experience.

[@jasonking5840]

G-15 great color. Sunset suite, violet is an absolutely amazing color.

[@centre_stage5599]

That sweet violet is so sweet 😊

[@thespectaclefactory]

💯

[@BlazevicJosip]

Exactly what I was looking for. Great video and great comparison!

[@chepibe2011]

Very nice one Robert! Personally like real green lenses walking at night in the city. Dimms the lights to a relaxing amber.

[@kennchri]

I really appreciate the thorough explanation of tint colors in this video! The honest discussion about their daily added value and how they fit into personal style was very insightful. It's great that you took the time to show various tints, which made it easier to understand their differences and benefits. I think it is helpful to stop/start the video at key points when watching to be able to better assess and compare. This video truly reflects the same honest, professional, and committed expertise and service you receive in the shop. And the footage of the amazing Bodnant Garden, home to National Collections and Champion Trees, was a fantastic addition. Keep up the great work!

[@WingManEight]

This is so in depth ! Fantastic video again !

[@Tinrebel]

Who knew? Thank you, I’m looking at a new prescription glasses and I would have gone with good ole gray, maybe not now!

[@TheHi-T]

Your videos always give me confidence in ordering more eyewear. Yes, even if I am ordering online in-house brands. I recently ordered 2 photochromic tints in blue & violet. And a pair of blue mirrored sport sunglasses with Trivex lens to match my blue bicycle helmet.

[@niko-pp]

Damn I should have watched your video before going to my optician and getting a grey tint for my sunglasses and 15% green tint for my prescription glasses... brown, orange and pink are the most pleasant to look through, should have chosen one of these 😩 I guess I prefer warmer colord

[@SofiaSSmith-qv3rl]

God bless you Robert, thank you for all the videos!!

[@thespectaclefactory]

You are very welcome

[@harmonicvibrations6229]

Brown is my favourite colour! I luckily own blue, grey, pink and purple sunglasses and love them all but brown is by far my best colour to see the world in even on a cloudy day

[@akahina]

I wish I had known about the color shift with red mirrors a couple of years ago. I ordered full sun grey lenses w/ full red mirrors. I was surprised by the rather strong blue that resulted. I really don't like the blue color. I should have ordered a silver or blue mirror instead. Live and learn, I suppose. Sigh... Thanks Robert.

[@kaiasmussen3383]

Hello Robert, how about a video in honor of the sensational folding sunglasses CT0428S from Cartier? By the way: It's always a real pleasure to watch your videos, which have often served as inspiration for me. Greetings from Germany

[@adamvukovic1601]

Please made update in-depht video about Zeiss Flash coatings in combination with different color tints

[@stephenthenachohunter405]

yes

[@gdarmst0]

Wow Rob, that was SUPER USEFUL and extremely informative; thank you. As a follow-up could you do a similar video with gradients and bi-gradients? The information about the yellow lense was very useful; I will definitely need to get myself a pair of those. Rob, I also wanted to ask you a question. As someone who lives too far from your shop to visit regularly and with too many pairs of glasses to send via the post; what is your opinion about general public using ultrasonic cleaners to maintain their glasses? Is it a good thing to do? Or are we going to do more harm than good? I use lens wipes and e-cloths to maintain my lenses but dirt builds up along the edge of the lenses and nose pads, in difficult to reach places. So should I invest in an ultrasonic bath and if so do I use cleaners or just filtered water? Thanks.

[@kgupta2205]

Bi-gradient is super idea, especially sunset violet combination of something and magma orange combination with something

[@MrMediterrano]

Brown and orange for me

[@mr_glasses]

This was incredibly informative. Thank you!

[@Davidmtv98]

Awesome detail and really educational for next purchase 🎉😊

[@tomaszs2426]

I love your videos about lens tinting, I run a local optical salon and it was only after your materials that I started promoting them and presenting the possibilities. Are all your lens tints made by Zeiss?

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Love your channel! , funny enough I got violet sunglasses wondering if i should change next time

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Guess not

[@blueleon99]

thank you!

[@thespectaclefactory]

It's my pleasure - especially when I get to visit somewhere so beautiful

[@Rastaboomboom]

Very cool video thanks

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Thank you for sharing this

[@nickb4327]

Hi Robert would you make a video about the effects of coloured mirror coatings and how they interact with tinted lenses?

[@xShowtime951x]

I have to wear prescription sunglasses and hate being a photographer and wear glasses when Im out and about taking photos. :(

[@triniphotofan5142]

As an amateur photographer, I just stick to grey transitions but I do have issues determining correct exposure wearing them.

[@QuoteFlow24]

i would go for magma orange

[@tuomassuominen7334]

Hello, I'm an vintage USA Ray-Ban collector (Bausch & Lomb era) and it's absolutely amazing that even in 2024 you cannot find such amazing technologies from any manufacturer. For example Kalichrome, Ambermatic, Chromax, Diamond Hard etc. And all those were made of tempered glass. Chromax colour contrast technology is still superior to any so-called "contrast" lenses nowadays. Also they had almost all kind of tints and transition lens colours on their portfolio. (for example Ambermatics and even blue and red ones with changeable=transition lenses) And all of them was made of tempered glass. So, the big question is; Why everybody's tell that glass lenses are very limited with tints and other technologies? Bausch & Lomb could use those techs in 60's 70's and 80's. And none of those weren't plastic.

[@ghostrecon3214]

Interesting. I want a pair of real glass lenses due to optical clarity and refractive index, not to mention they are way kore scratch resistant. I don't understand why they cant offer more colors for glass, binoculars and scopes often have colored glass lenses.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Because hardly anyone uses glass lenses anymore

[@hungryha]

Wow this was so helpful to explain the benefit of the tints for different situations! Thanks so much. I was wondering if there is any benefit to use a light orange tint for night driving to help with glare?

[@Rastaboomboom]

I need a pair custom made with the magma orange I have to retake my drivers test next year

[@divrofficial]

Great video. Am I able to order from you in Australia? What's the process

[@basetxerri]

Robert, could you cover Zeiss i.Scription?

[@mhaladawy]

Wide variety 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Stu412t]

Shame you didn’t discuss a rose lens as I’m thinking of buying a pair of sg with a rose lens.

[@breannadiaz3149]

Great explanation!

[@etseibwars]

Very interesting, what about the effects of red tint?

[@agnesolsvik]

When I asked Robert about a red tint he said red was not a comfortable colour to look through.

[@levonodabashyan5697]

Hello Robert, thank you for information which is really valuable. Will you recommend the magma orange also for night time driving? For example drive safe lenses with magma orange tint?

[@avmelidor]

Illuminating

[@anoopnair472]

Another great video Robert 👍🏼 Very informative

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Have you considered doing any videos on wraparound glasses?

[@jojotwice8918]

they have it in their shorts

[@gautambadveti6522]

Very informative

[@bucknut2000]

Great video, what would you recommend for playing tennis. Or making a yellow tennis ball stand out and improve depth perception .

[@TheHippofan]

Love the content mate! Are there any Maui Jim lenses that are close to the g15? I'm thinking about getting some new sunglasses soon and was set on some brown aviators from MJ.

[@PapuaKini]

Very informative. Thanks. What about for snowy condition? What tint will you recommend?

[@rebeccabaxterbard8073]

Yellow is the bomb! Nice contrast & even on crappy overcast, icy days it makes for a sunny, happy day on the slopes! Imho.

[@zubairhaffejee1707]

I learnt alot about lenses in this video😎Thanks.

[@kgupta2205]

You have never ever spoken of Matsuda, Japanese spectacle. Would you like to increase your coverage of good Japanese frames? I look forward to the video on yellow tinted reading specs

[@strictlykev311]

Are you able to do business with Other labs? It'd be interesting to be able to order lenses on behalf of clients and install locally for those international

[@toneman8478]

Sweet violet double thumbs up for sure.. But I live in the states and that may be called a different color any recommendations for brand names

[@KFC-Warrior]

Loved this

[@authentic1997]

Ray Ban brown-15, it makes me feel like I’m in Mexico 😊

[@e5211]

so what happens when you get a blue mirror with a yellow tint? does the world look grey?

[@tnthomas1954]

What is the best tint for outdoor tennis? Green courts, yellow balls, bright sun.

[@user-yj2cm6ko5x]

how much would it cost for glasses+photofusionx ?

[@stephenthenachohunter405]

how does the color of the flash coating change what I view if at all. If I recall you said that it let IN the color of the tint vs blocking like a mirror. Wondering also what diamond would do other than the look

[@susannealexander]

Great Information. Can I put a tint on my daily multifocal lenses?

[@ASMRroseia]

I have a tint on my multi focal Lenses for my dyslexia so it’s possible

[@adamvukovic1601]

Please made in-depht update video about Zeiss Flash coatings

[@doubledee88]

Would Amber be a yellow tint or brown?

[@thespectaclefactory]

Neither, it's kind of in-between

[@jakobcreates]

Which were the grey tinted glasses you showed on the beach?

[@thespectaclefactory]

[@Kadaf1]

Is it a waste to get the Duravision platinum lens with a flash coating? as the platinum has an anti reflection . Should you just pair the flash coating with the cheaper Duravision silver lens ?

[@mp9984]

What's the glasses at 4:52

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Eco Slate something, purple for sure lol

[@mattcave8411]

regarding the sunset violet what % tint is on the glasses you wore for driving? 50%?

[@shakeelnasir7460]

Hi, I am an optician from pakistan. I have a question that a person who have a prescription that, L eye 3 prism @90, and 3 prism @ 180. What is that mean, with DP os is +5.50/+1.00 80

[@DerekBradPhotography]

What tint is best in the snow?

[@nelson1525]

Gray polarized

[@agnesolsvik]

​​@@nelson1525Skiing up in the mountains, yes, but on ordinary winter days, no way.

[@Mark-P]

Which tints are best for the winter sun Robert?

[@agnesolsvik]

Last winter I wore my brown photographic lenses with a ruby flash coating more than my other pairs. Also my purple/pink 60% gradient tint was perfect for walks in those sunny winter days with lots of snow.

[@Mark-P]

@@agnesolsvik I need to try a few of these, to see which would be best for me. 👍🏻

[@agnesolsvik]

​​​@@Mark-P Magma orange tint with a sapphire coating is perfect for those overcast winter days. It's an extremely comfortable tint to look through. (I'm Norwegian)

[@Mark-P]

@@agnesolsvik I’m in the U.K.! I also have an eye disease, which limits my sight. That’s why I would need to try these tints. I have recently had a new pair of sunglasses from Robert. 😂

[@sajash]

Brilliant video! So informative due to the actual demonstrations. Convinced me to definitely have a tint on my next pair. Keep up the good work Robert

[@serviceprive]

Your intro is confusing. You say ‘to pair you’ sounds like ‘to pay you’ Can you perhaps say ‘to guide you ‘

[@skreeog]

Urgh, i am sorry, but you created this video using only the left channel. If you listen to this with headphones you hear it almost exclusively from the left ear. Please, PLEASE, reupload it in mono, at least this way the audio would be balanced.
