What is the optics quality? Pictures show crinkled plastic. Crinkled plastic could really distort vision in regular or a smoke filled evironment .

Sorry, don't know. It comes in a sealed pouch and I don't plan on opening it until needed since it has an expiry date on it.

I do not have what I think you will consider a good answer for your question. Like the others, I have not opened this specific product. However, as someone who has had to function in an acrid smoke-filled environment (many years ago), I can say that crinkly plastic may be superior to tear-filled, burning eyes that are squeezed shut by reflex and can only be opened briefly by shear willpower. Modern interiors have a lot of plastic and burning plastic produces formaldehyde, etc. Tough on eyeballs and other organic systems. I hope this is at least germane. Bill Olson, MD

I haven't even taken this out of the box, and won't until/unless it's needed. If you have a real need for this product, you won't be wearing it for more than 15 minutes, you probably won't be able to see your hand in front of your face once the smoke starts, and you ought to be holding a hand rail going down a stairwell, or crawling on the floor along the base of the wall to the nearest exit, so you shouldn't have much need for clear optics.

I agree. The picture of them coming down the stairs, you can clearly see his mask fogging. No way you can see out of this thing clearly. Check out the FIREMASK it's only $30 and does all the same stuff.

They are supposed to be clear but the lens is made of cheap cloudy plastic. I wasn't pleased with them. They are not sunglasses. If you're looking for glasses ebay sells nice ones for American Girl type dolls. I bought a clearish purple from there during the same time I bought these and you could really tell the difference in quality.

Yes, there is a diopter adjustment that works quite well. I use reading 2+ reading glasses and with the adjustment the EVF image is perfectly clear.

Not entirely clear on what you mean by "optics", but the viewfinder will magnify the image on the LCD screen, while still acting as a "shroud".

Only the lenses are glass! All else is very hard palmer type plastic. I think it is a pretty good night scope for the price. You get what you pay for when it comes to night scopes. Don't buy it and expect perfection.

The lens is molded optical plastic. This makes the magnifier lighter. The only down side is that the lens will scratch easier. But you should be careful with any optical device!

We'll I'm not sure if you mean "image quality" as in taking pictures? Or as in the screen. And we'll the plastic is only on the back side and it has a a part cut out for the mic, camera lense, and flash. So in answer to if it affects "image quality", no. You will notice nothing at all.

It's hard to say. Some of the roll is clear as day, yet other areas have that burry look to it. I'm not sure if it's a flaw in manufacturing but I don't like it either. Two rolls bought , both rolls have the flaws (blurry areas)

It is smoked-colored 07 type plastic. This is a remarkably chemically inert very high quality plastic, more costly than glass.

I haven't noticed it. The only image related issues I notice are the blurring of the corners of the screens (due to the nature of the adjuster glass that you must look through). The image is actually VERY clear and sharp in the center.

Yes the outside lens is smoked.I have one with the clear lens on my car now and have not put the smoked lens on. Yet.

No it is just supposed to allow you to have a wider field of view. It looks fish eye-like. In my opinion it makes the images look blurry and actually reduces the quality.

The resolution is not perfect, a illumine is not stable. But you can use eyepiece as well. Do not recomend this product to my friends.

Wow ! You know Denise.....I never paid attention to the first filter I replaced being glass or plastic?!?! However, I think you are right. These I ordered are plastic and you cannot see through them like the glass ! Thank you for asking this question ! I won't order any more !!!! I am going to try and get my money back !

Yes, there is some vignetting as there is with many fish-eye or wide angle lenses. I think that it is the nature of things rather than a flaw.

I also see an oblong dot, almost a set of dots that seem not round. I was diagnosed a few years back with a "mild astigmatism", and although I do have glasses, I generally do not wear them. I was unsure if it was the astigmatism or a faulty unit, so spoke with Trijicon on the phone and they said to exchange the unit with a new one. I did so through Amazon and found that the new unit did the exact same thing. I believe that its the astigmatism, and although mine is so mild that I don't have the need to wear glasses, it still makes the laser dot seem oblong.

Have to agree with Mr.J's comments here.As for Student62 - defective I believe is not the word here, because as you mentioned - "still works"..,,more like small bits on the outer edge of one or both lens will show signs of "melting"if that is the correct word when you look *real close, besides that while wearing the 3D glassit is absolutely unnoticeable when you are watching any 3D film.
