Excellent comparison, the most useful on the platform. It would be nice to see if the Transitions Polarized work well enough at polarizing light to be worthwhile.
Super helpful video! I was worried if the transitions would get dark enough for my sensitive eyes. Your side-by-side comparison helped a lot. Thank you for posting.
i wish this video existed sooner lol. hey, can you also compare the anti-reflective coatings between the clear glasses, xtractive, xtractive polarized and the zenni photochromic glasses? i have high end Seiko frames with Clear Zeiss lenses and when i compare the anti-reflective coating of my Seiko's to my new pair of Zenni photochromic the difference is night and day. almost as if the Zenni's don't even have anti-reflective coating at all (i mean they do have AR coating, there is a green hue to the reflections but it basically reflects everything around you where the Zeiss glasses barely show any sign of reflections at all) at first i didn't really think much about this because i figured maybe they just have to apply poor anti-reflective coatings to allow more light to go through the photochromic paint inside the lens, but since you actually have 3 different types of photochromic and a pair of clear glasses (presumably also from zenni?) that would be really nice if you could compare between them all and see which type of lens has the better anti-reflective coating
No, although the Xtractives always have a very slight tint indoor--they are not completely clear. You won't notice this, but other people looking at your glasses might.
The generic photochromics might be, but Zenni Optical doesn't say what they are. They don't seem to have great performance. I suspect they are not any generation of Transitions.
