Does the mask have a Purge valve also? Does the lens curv across the front & ovr to the side of your eyes so frame doesn't block peripheral vision?

It does not have a purge valve, and the frame does somewhat curve around, I have had no trouble seeing all I needed to see.

I was not able to snorkle with this item. It would not prevent water from coming into the mask. We had to use our older mask, different brand.

The mask does not have a purge valve, you'll have to use the more manual method to clear the mask. The lens does not curve, it is flat and the plastic molding covers the sides so it does limit peripheral vision. The lens is wide and does have a good field of view.

Yes the mask does block all light frim coming through around your lower nose. The mask is also great for side sleeper as I sleep 75% on my side and 25% on my back.

That is a question I need answered too. When I put the mask on, I only had my contacts in but I have to wear glasses when I do close up work and when I had it on, even though I did not have my glasses on, it appeared I had enough room to wear them. It would also depend on whether you wear large frames or moderate size frames on your glasses. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Occasionally, I have issues with fogging. But, if you work with the bendable strip on the top of the mask, you can usually eliminate or minimize the fogging. The valve on the mask makes a big difference vs masks that don't have a valve.

Yes, blocks out the light and it's opaque. You need to adjust so no light comes up from the bottom around the contoured area above the nose. Move it around so no light peeks up.

I am so accustomed to wearing a snorkel, I haven't noticed that it impairs vision at all. I wear goggles every swim so, I would say its safe to wear a mask.

i put the anti fog solution on my mask and i can see that being a problem. if you wear prescription glasses get prescription lenses in your mask. mine are all i need to see pretty well. if you dont i would have to say its a 15 dollar gamble.

My safety glasses fog a little when I wear this mask but not as much as non- valve types. If your glasses don't ride right on the mask, you may be able to keep them fog free OR you can get some anti-fog to wipe your lenses down with.

Interesting that you asked this question as I am pondering this myself though with the haze filter. Different schools of thought from using as "protection of camera lens" to cutting glare to those who don't use them at all. This filter is on at all times during the day unless shooting in very low light. My haze filter not so sure about.

There is a lock somewhere outside the lens near the body. This might prevent you from changing the focal length.

if you took off the hood, then yes; I usually bypass the internal supportive pad which has a hole to let the lens through, however the hole is a bit tight for big lens and hood. Overall, the build of this bag is solid, but the strap can be more comfortable. Hope it helps!

I actually don't use any. It's a really good mask. I played all day with no fog.

It will be in the scope. However it is not as if it is blocking the recticle at all. I do not consider it an issue at all. You can perceive its presence at the bottom of the recticle but in no way interferes with my shooting.

To "Boog ?" A. Claymaker gave the best answer to my mind. You want it to fit just outside the mask to assure protecting your nose. Pointpilot

I use a Hoya Green Label (uncoated) 46mm UV filter purely for protection from dirt and "me". I got mine from camerafilters.com for @$10, maybe less. The main concern for me was getting one that I knew would clear the lense tunnel, as no one seemed to know what fit my FZ28 at the time. I've taken hundreds of shots just for comparison, I see no difference in image quality. I now leave it on inside and out. I prefer the uncoated, as they seem easier to clean. (A lenspen works great for the filter and lens)Edit: You do mean F"Z" 35 don't you?? You posted FX35..

Just tried it- no problem with "ear muffs", Only problem- mask does not accommodate glasses, otherwise good mask

The size contributes to the comfort and purpose of the product. Though the mask may wrap around the side of your head a bit further or it may feel like you're wearing oversized glasses, it will still be comfortable and light will be blocked.
