I've owned a Serengeti Destare 555nm, bought it at Focus Point.
Love it. Photocromic + Polarised lense.

I can even wear it inside a shopping mall without having a problem.
Went to Giant last weekend, some people stared at me as if i macam orang gila pakai sunglasses jalan-jalan dalam shopping mall. Hahahaa.
But really i tell you, the photocromic lenses are great eventho its only 20%-9% light transmittance thru lense.

Polarised downside:
My kaki hampir-hampir terpijak lopak air on the walkway because you cannot see the light refrection on the water! Fuhhh.

Yes, it might looks like one but.... as i wrote it before, its photocromic!

I'm owned this brand for more than a year.
-Spectral Control
-Photochromic for all models. VLT range from 24-8%.
-Polarized/Non-polarized

My nature of work - construction
I've spend most of the day outdoor(bright sunny day) and indoor...concurrently.
And I've never took my shades off.

My experienced (555nm lens):
-Spectral Control lens enhanced the view... and slightly contrast in yellow green red colour.

-Photochromic works well and you wont noticed it.
The darker the lenses, the contrast it will become.

-Polarization, as good as other branded brand i think.

Once, i pushed my Serengeti to the max:
-Shades on and drive till 7.30pm. (januari 2014 punya time)
-Driving in heavy rain, no problem.
(i think Serengeti Drivers or Drivers Gold lens more better for driving purpose)

Price wise?
Subjective.

May i ask, yours 555nm or Drivers lens...?

No regret to owned a Serengeti.

Since 2012 till now... lanyak hari-hari.

Serengeti 555nm.

Probably aiming onto this....

-Focus Point.
-Opulence.

Already owned a Serengeti Destare 555nm (Trivex/Phd lens) for almost 5 years, and now tukar angin to San Remo Drivers (thin glass lens) even though this is an old model, but i'm more comfortable with it.
(after considering the frame type, nose bridge and my face shape)

My finding after owned both lenses:

555nm Trivex lens:
Suitable for outdoor activities, overcast and bright day light.
You wont notice when the lens darken, but suddenly everything you see slightly contrast in colour.

Drivers thin glass lens:
As the above condition but more toward for driving purpose.
This lens give you a high contrast in colour. I highly recommanded for those who are a 'pemandu tegar harian'.

As i mentioned in this thread back in 2012, wore it indoor wont give you a problem coz both type of lenses have VLT range from 24%-9% respectively.

Exposed to UV flashlight.



See the dark spot marking on lens? That how it works.

Polarized and photochromic are two different boat.

Polarized: cut some degree of glare after passing thru lenses.
Photochromic: lighten or darken the lenses depending on how much UV exposed.
