QUOTE(a.y @ Nov 17 2012, 12:16 PM) Planning to get a ic berlin but was wondering if 1100-1300 of budget able to get myself pair with good lens as the frame seems to be quite pricey? User with power around 600 here. Appreciate you guys feedback  You can get a pair of Oakley's with Carl Zeiss prescription for the price of the IC Berlin alone QUOTE(Carl Iskandar @ Nov 17 2012, 10:41 PM) need help here. rh - power 475, ast 100 lh - power 550, ast 75 any cheap transition to recommend? Budget? Most transitions like Hoya and Carl Zeiss ain't cheap, plus your power is a lil tad high for those cheap transitions.

Thanks. 1,6 you need get the slightly higher version of the Zeiss. Mine basic around 300 bucks, the higher version would be around 600, if you are looking at transition, maybe more.

If you are a student but can't afford such luxuries, don't buy la.
What's so great bout a spec that cost 1,5k that works the same with another that cost 600?

QUOTE(nuttyking91 @ Dec 7 2012, 06:52 PM)  maintenance free specs, lightweight frame. i don't go for brands though, i go for features. maybe save up lo...  If can I'd love to have it lasts for a very long time  that's why I'm looking for shops with better deals. of course i don't wanna pay 1.5k for a spec until i work... 500-1k is alright for me  My Oakleys has lasted more than 4 years for the 1st pair, and the 2nd one just came in last month. I guess you don't need to go for IC Berlin for quality, there are plenty of other good frames that last very long too. Maybe bro Jialat can help you get cheaper but don't expect till 1,5k --> 900+ la  Not to add, the prescription ain't cheap too nowadays. This post has been edited by chiahau: Dec 7 2012, 07:01 PM

QUOTE(iVW @ Jun 2 2016, 02:14 PM) Anyone could tell the obvious differences between HOYA and ESSILOR as there are mixed reviews in the web. I am getting a spec replacement and would like to find out which is currently good and worth buying. My habit and lifestyle is: - working in computerized environment, facing screens at least 6 hours a day, might as well need blue filter - need transition lens (signature or Xtrative?) - smudge and scratch resistance Good question. I am curious myself  Planning to get a pair of new glasses but more inclined for the Carl Zeiss lens. Luckily, my eyes are within the low index category so I don't have to cough up a fortune for CZ lens. Just that for an extra 200, I could probably afford an Essilor transition lens
