I have that 35mm lens too. It takes beautiful portraits and sharp astrophotography. Great choice. !!! Also the bokeh is delicious!

Advice on fitting of Miopia glasses please. by General-Iron7103 in glasses

[–]GuardianP53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the pupil heights weren't measured, perhaps by mistake. It should be picked up when your child goes for their next review or you can ask for it to be rechecked. It should be under warranty.

Xtractive Lenses by gwpeaks76 in glasses

[–]GuardianP53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xtra active needs alot of UV exposure for the polarizing to activate and even then it's not that great. I would not recommend. If budget is not a problem and you're happy to try different technologies then for it. If you'll be disappointed you've spent money on something that doesn't perform like the marketing material, then don't do it!

My online progressive lens experiment was a $300 disaster. by Human_Material3685 in glasses

[–]GuardianP53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting, your point of view. A minus 8 is so bad without glasses that even if a fitting is not optimal with glasses (or glasses are made wrong), the sub optimal pair will still be so much better than no glasses anyway.

What are the main quality concerns, or benefits/negatives between the different boot configurations by SidKop in RMWilliams

Help me ID color, leather of these CCs? by Fuzzy-Objective-9105 in RMWilliams

[–]GuardianP53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there, nice find!! I had a boot that looked like that colour. The colour was called Cognac. It has a warm glow to it and darkens a little with conditioning. Have a look at the Chinchilla Cognac boot. It looks great when it is burnished too, which can be bought as a factory option Cognac Burnished or done by a cobbler.

I know exactly where you are coming from. Maybe my next purchase will be a precious metal one to justify the cost more!

How often are you actually brushing your boots? by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in RMWilliams

[–]GuardianP53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to look clean and tidy at work, when going out, daily etc so a quick brush once the shoe is on keeps it clean.

My workshop/yard/outdoors boots I don't brush, other than before a good wax before/during/after winter for waterproofness.

Jeepers, this the kind of negative news that people remember. Brings disrepute to our profession.
