silent Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Ok having searched and read what I could, I see people are doing both the green and the black lenses. Is there anything that states what color it should be? Or do we know if the CRL may add lens color anytime soon, or what is the overall opinion. Not happy with my current lens and planning to redo it and want to get the best, most authentic color Quote
Griffin-X Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 The most typical used is a #5 welder's shield, which looks almost black on the helmet. It's actually a really, really dark green. http://shop.elvex.com/p/fs-15ws5-welding-shade-no-5-green-face-shield Quote
Dart Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Out of curiosity, how well does the shade 5 do against camera flashes? Just wondering since I know how goofy it looks when the flash penetrates the lens and you can see the trooper behind the mask. Quote
Chef Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I've never has an issue with camera flash penetrating the lens. Even on relative close ups. Obviously, if they are right up close, practically on your nose, then you may get some bleed through. But I can't say it's been a problem with mine. Quote
4505Marcel Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Agreed camera flash is not a problem, youve got to remember the light from the arc in a weld will be far greater than a flash of a camera. Thats what the lense is designed for at the end of the day Quote
silverBoyd Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 That lense should be fine. I have it on my Sandtrooper bucket and you can never see through it via camera flashes. It's pretty dark from the outside. Quote
