Dear Daniel, I wanna thank you for all your videos on transitions lenses. I have watched many of them (repeatedly!) since last year. You have no idea how much you 've helped me so far. Actually because of this video I have already ordered the blue sapphire lenses in an aviator (Ray-Ban-like) black frame and I am looking forward to them. I love this very dark blue color, it looks kind of masculine and elegant. Thanks again Daniel, keep on doing all the good work. I definitely will keep watching your videos! Take care

@@baseball12ification I really like them, but I don’t think they’re a perfect replacement for sunglasses. They are better than not having sunglasses, but they don’t feel like they block out as much as regular ones do. Also, the tint in my car prevents them from transitioning so on really sunny days I’ll wear regular sunglasses. That being said, I love them. I think they’re great at what they do and they transition insanely quickly to dark. Then they go back to mostly clear very quick, but the last little bit takes a second. They are extremely impressive technology. I really love them.

I didn't know that all Transitions lenses use a base dark color such as grey and brown to make the Gen 8 lenses darker for all you folks. I personally feel you should produce what you advertise. Bases were not added in the original lenses and were advertised as such. The original Gen 8 lenses were colorful and changed to the dark color that were chosen. You could coordinate the colors with any colorful frame. Now they are Black, with no color. Why advertise and choose the different colors when you could've chose black lenses in the beginning. There's no new colors, just dark grey and dark brown. FALSE ADVERTISING!!

It's false advertisement. It's true that they don't change to the color that you choose. They add a base grey or brown to make the lenses go darker which changes the actual color you choose. Nothing to do with any UV or climate you reside in. You pick your color to match your frame and you get a different color. The outer surface is not the same as the inside.

You are wrong @Rain. I have Sapphire Blue and the Ametyst, and the added base grey makes the lens so dark that it isn't a Sapphire or Amethyst color.

Else why is it in a separate category rather than it just being another colour that’s offered like the grey/brown/greens of the world. Also, the frames look cool - would’ve been nice to get a closeup though when you were trying on the different ones. 😊

Thank you! Signature Gen 8 does not have variable polarization, although as you noticed they are still quite effective at controlling light. I’ve found them to be quite satisfying even without polarization in most environments. As of now the only Transitions product with variable polarization is Transitions Vantage.

As with all tinted colors on lenses or anywhere, the blue becomes less visible the darker they get and more visible the lighter they get. So the blue color will show more at the mid-tint point than at the darker point. It will also be more easily seen when held against a white background.
