Pay about 280RM for it. Come to think of it, I was hoodwinked by my own vanity.or, sell it off, put a tint film on ur prescription spec Anyway, etched on the spec. say Halogyn PhotoMatic, didn't see any brand name.. Must consult with one of the sifus here if there are worthy to keep, not that it really bothers me. If you happen to come across a rider wearing conventional spec. tats proly is me! Why?
