I have a couple friends who bought the GR004's. I want something with a larger lens but I don't want the metal frames. Which glasses would you suggest

Sorry but I don't know much about the difference in lens. I have only owned these ones. The lens are a pretty decent size. Just by looking at the picture of the GR004's it seems like these ones may just be larger.

I really like the GR 801's. They're very flexible as long as you treat them with respect they do great. For the price I don't think you can beat them. I'm probably going to order a few more pairs just to keep around in case something happens ones that I have. I like them that much. They aren't really heavy or anything. They look good. And the lenses themselves aren't an obnoxious amber color. I have several pairs of firing range glasses and if I wanted to wear those, I'd wear those. The actual tint on the GR's is subtle but the perfect amount in my opinion and experience. I had severely burning eyes periodically and headaches before I bought these. After three days of wearing them that all started going away. Five days in completely gone. I wear them all the time now.

I don't wear glasses, but without them the scope is amazing. I have try different scopes and this o e is provably the best yoi can get. Specially when you make the relation cost/benefit.

I love the Nikon Lens. I've learned that Nikon makes the glass for all of there lenses. The Nikon is a better lens in my opinion and you get what you pay for. You definitly should buy a UV filter to protect all of your lenses.

I bought the Nikon Monarch, they are compact and pull in what I'm looking for really clear and close. I wear contacts and I can get a close and crisp sighting without having my contacts in! I thought about going for a little wider viewing but this really satisfy me for my needs. We have really viewing off our mountain and lake property, I would get them, you can always return them.

Glass is sharper, and the sharpness is broader in the middle Vs. the plastic one only being very sharp almost completely in the center. The glass lens also has less of the barrel distortion. I'ts simply about preference, typically people purchase the holga cameras for the distortion ability...

Unless you guzzle OJ, I'd recommend the smaller version, which is what we use. Either way, they're great glasses!

DLP link built in or a free standing DLP link will do it. Take note, the glasses they have for $5 more by Okeba have the large side pieces, that keeps out ambient light a bit better. However these are more comfortable as they are lighter. I have both and they both perform great.

I personally would go with the 18-105mm. It is more "flexible." Hope this helps.

They are a decent set of bino's, ok glass but they are very heavy to hold for extended periods of time. I would spend the extra $ and go With the Nikon Monarch's instead, better glass, more detail and not so heavy.

Yes they have stronger lens than those you posted above. You can also get a "shorty Barlow" lens that will double your seeing power

No problem at all. This lens is a quality piece of glass. I took pictures of the moon hand held and they turned out great. On a tripod they would be even better. Hope this helps.

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :) I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

The lowest end body with an L glass will produce better pictures than the highest end body with a crappy lens. Invest in lenses, they last longer than bodies.

Another option is getting the 50mm 1.8 for about a hundred bucks. Takes great shots and you can still buy the 28-135. I bought my 28-135 used and love having both lenses.

I used a pair of inexpensive sunglasses. Lenscrafters was able to cut the blanks and fit them perfectly into the frames. They've worked well for me.

The 24-120 f/4 is a great "walking around" lens. It has all the goodies; Nano Glass, VR2 and fantastic resolution and speed. Works very well with mt D800's 36 megapixel resolution. Great for handheld shots. It's not a lightweight, but, IMHO, relatively easy to carry. You'll not be disappointed with the pictures. If you can, try it with your camera for weight and balance.

I've been using the 14-24mm f2.8 for a year now. Tack sharp! No lens creep. I was worried about no filters to protect glass also. Built in lens hood protects front element well enough. Lens cap fits OVER hood when not in use. I am comfortable with that. No VR doesn't seem to be an issue, as a lot of light comes through the glass and allows higher shutter speeds I feel. I generally shoot with a standard ISO of 400 to kick it up the speed a bit. Great lens. I also use the 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses, both at f2.8 as well. Throw any pic from these three lenses on you monitor and you could cut yourself on the sharpness. LOL. I've been using the 14-24mm f2.8 for a year now. Tack sharp! No lens creep.
