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.

Get the 17-40mm and the 70-200mm f4 for less tha half the price. It's a two lens combo that is outstanding. The pictures are sharp,crisp, and saturated.

I am a proud owner of a 7D and I have spent many hours taking pictures with it. I made the plung and bought a nice "EF 24-105mm f4.0 IS L" lense and it is awesome... just wonderful. The new lense really improved the quality of the pictures that I have taken... My advise... keep the 7D's and get some quality glass..

Thanks Gav, I appreciate it. I've been leaning more towards the 15-85 because of the extra focal length too. Do you know if the glass quality is the same?

It used to be right on the page, but now it's no longer an options, so perhaps they're out of stock. If you check out this pair, you can see how you can choose different magnifications (at least as of 2/10/2015).

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.

Our advice if you're interested in something along these lines? Go to the Gunnar Optik site and create a pair of glasses with the features you want, and check out the price. Then go to a local optometrist and see if they can beat the price with the same set of features. Buy whichever is cheaper. If you cant afford either try the Gamma Rays

The frames are very sturdy. I've seen flimsy ray-ban aviators at lens craters that could have prescription lenses put in; I think these would be a much better candidate.

Although these are very good, I'd recommend the LG AG-F220 Cinema Clip On 3D Glasses for over glasses use. They are LG but work with other brands of passive 3d TVs (mine are used with a Vizio set).

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 just received a pair today and used a color spectrum test image (and I'd tried others as well). Here's a link to it if you're interested. https://www.paleohacks.com/sleep/will-plain-red-or-orange-lenses-block-blue-light-for-sleep-17104 These were the only glasses that showed true blue blocking. I'm thrilled as I spend way too many hours under fluorescent lighting and in front of a computer screen. At my my age I couldn't care less whether they're stylish or not. I do like the S1933X though, better for comfort... lightweight.

I haven't used the sony w800 bit these are the best I have used. Although I think my favorite part is the frame. They feel like real glasses and not some cheap disposable plastic glasses. They also hold up well I've bought 3 pairs and have 2 left...the third ended up at a friends house.

I have both of these and they are excellent lenses. This is my profession and it I were to choose go with the 17-70, unless you don't need the extra reach and you mostly work in low light.

Mainly price. The Rokinon lenses are very good. I own a 35 and 24 Rokinon as well as some Canons. I think they perform extremely well.

Not all glasses are the same and I would recommend checking with Panasonic or a reputable web site for their recommendations. I almost found this out the hard way but was fortunate to have looked into it a bit more and am now happy with my selection, good luck.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

I was concerned about this too. I got a pair. One thing though, they are significantly better than stock, but the one shines a slightly different pattern than the other and the lenses are somewhat easily scratched( my grill came loose and rubbed on it for about a mile and the and plastic was enough to leave deep scars). So if you can, get the Hellas.
