Ts kena chop 9 street long Sudah.

All those rainbow light filters are scammer penipu with syiok sendiri only.

A basic lense only with different quality is what makes the difference. For 1200 can go for HD Nikon lense Siap with balance for cny goodies. LEL

Actually those branded lens and capalang lens..got big difference?

Scratch resistance quality and lasting longer than most basic ones.

Basic 1-3 years.

Nikon or leica can last 3-5 years with top clear lenses.

Not sure if you’ve seen. Some lense will become flaky and peel off or tiny scratches built up over time. Some even worse - clear lense turns yellow.

Those turn yellow are the lowest quality grade of cheapo that shouldn’t even be sold in the first place. They cost less than 10 for below 500 degree and being sold for 20-30 fold their price. If u ever buy one that turns yellowish after a year, avoid that shop.

Eh like that just change frequently then okay kot? Change frequently is still cheaper than getting those branded lens.

Another thing is that I used to have Essilor and Carl Zeiss lens...eventually also scratched and have flakes.
*
Whut? If Carl zeiss has flakes u can go claim warranty within first two years.

Go back that optometrist and diu 9 them. Either they swap and ordered a cheapo lenses for u or u kena scam. I had mine for more than 5 years and still in prestige condition.

sorry if I am being unclear, the margin from this business is quite big

even if I order direct I know someone who can cut it for me for a fee

Ya true. Ayam know of this after kazen open shop too. But it’s hassle free.

Ayam gotten spec above 1000 power basic lense for 300 only from kazen. Other shops around all selling 800-1200.

Can see the difference in margin how big.

Yea I need advice on this too. I got Nikon Seemax lenses for my 450 astigmatism 3 years ago and the coating has peeled off. I got them for like RM 2k+ from Iconic Lab in Mid Valley.

Few weeks ago I went back and the price for the same lenses are almost RM 4k. Wtf? I can't be spending 3-4K every 2-3 years on this.
*
For lense, just clean with water. That’s all. Don’t use whatever wipes etc.

And it’s 3 years ago so I’m not sure if it’s still within warranty. As far as I know Nikon offers two years warranty if the lenses turns yellow and starts flaking.

Buying branded because they have the quality and warranty lol

I'm really curious how much a spec actually cost. from zaman dulu-dulu they already said that spectacles shop mark up a LOT is a very profitable business. how much a lot is that be?
*
Dulu dulu they are earning 10 times for each pair sold till there’s competitors coming in like owl hoot etc that sells 199 for a pair.

Even that they are making 5 times the cost for each pair sold unless those need to custom made to order.

Even then they cost 100-300 for each pair like those with ast power over 1000 and being sold around 800-1200
