Does the color of the lens affect night skiing? if so, which color do you recommend?

I haven't really used these for night snowboarding/skiing but they do change the color of certain things during the day, depending on the color lens you choose. I imagine that it would do somewhat of the same at night. These may be a little difficult to use for night time because they cut some light out, it would be like wearing sunglasses at night in a way. Hope this helps!

I think they are for sun, red tint to prevent snow blindness. They are not very dark though. I have worn them skiing at night in a lit golf course. I could still see okay. I do not know the VLT.

Yes, I found that everything becomes a bit darker, it makes greens pop a bit and the blue sky darkens, white clouds will be much brighter. I have found that very slight rotation of the lens will reduce this effect to some degree. At first I was making too great a rotation and not seeing a lot of difference, but after using it a bit I realized a tiny turn helped. I agree with what AC said in their answer, you can make manual adjustments to aperture and shutter speed to increase 'light' while still getting the advantage of the polarizer. I also agree with Mark, the best results come on a bright sunny day.

They have a significant tint so, nope. I have a set of clear lens goggles for when I ride at night. They're really cool otherwise and I've gotten tons of compliments.

In my personal experience, I had no trouble at all with the fog. Even when I had terrible weather while skiing. I highly recommend these goggles.In case they get snow inside, I suggest drying them naturally and perhaps using a tissue for the outside lens.

Yes, I use it at night also. Not just during the day. I have cataracts and it helps with seeing in changing light conditions. I use the gray visor, not the amber. The gray does not distort colors or make things dark. I do not know how well the amber works. I love my visor and don't know how I managed before I got it. Sunglasses only made things DARK. If I wore sunglasses I could not see my instrument panel on my dash.

Dear SandeepThanks for your inquiry.The lens color is smoke.Sincerely yours,Astra Depot

From what I learned doing research on this, the construction of the lens in the scope would normally cause distortions in colors unless corrected. It's a feature on better scopes. I've used this scope extensively and it's very clear and I have not seen any issue with accurate color.

It should work just fine with your lens. There is a bit of a color cast produced by the filters, depending on your editing skills, this is something somewhat easy to fix. I mostly use the graduated filters for sunset and notice a a purpleish tint in the sky that is otherwise not there. For sunsets, this is an acceptable fault for me. For ~$20 you cant go wrong, especially if you are buying these to determine if a higher end filter would be a good fit for your bag.

Nope, not at all. The lenses are way too dark for wearing at night, unless your goal is to run into trees. Sorry!

IR and nightvison are two different things for most people. Which are you asking for? This is an IR (infrared)filter that blocks most of the visible light in order to use IR to make the exposure. So using this filter at night would be tough since in the dark you will lose all autofocusing. You would need an IR source to use it at all and it would need to be fairly strong and/or pretty close to the subject. Depending on the camera, you may or may not get decent false coloring. But no matter what you will need to process the image after shooting it to be either B/W or false color. It will be seriously red. You will give up some clarity so dont be surprised. I have a sample of this lens on a D700 on my G+ page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/101688838116518955904/albums/5803489596685783889

One more thing, unless you have excellent light collection, I'd be careful. Both of these lenses absorb some light, and at maximum magnification the image may be too dark.

Color, worked great for me.. IT Aldo has night vision (with IR leds) so at night or with Low light You get those grayish, greenish colors

I use mine on my motorcycle and would not recommend using them at night. You can still see but visibility is significantly reduced. I always carry a clear lensed version for night riding.

The lens is fine at night, I can't remember it fogging up too bad. Yes they do fit over a helmet!!

No, no filter that you place on your lens will help you take photos at night. In fact, any additional glass you add to the front of your camera will block some percentage of light coming through to the sensor. This one will in fact make your images come out virtually pitch black.

Like others who have answered, yes its awesome for night shots and its not ridiculously expensive like the Nikon and Canon options. This is a manual focus lens vs. the Nikon/Canon but you will have to focus manually anyways since your AF won't work at night. That said, the full benefit of this lens requires a full frame sensor but I have used it on the crop sensors and its great there too, just not as wide a field of view but wide enough in IMO.
