Lens Color compared to Light?

[rkjunior303]

Everyone,

I'm going to be picking up a new lens for my Flex-7 soon and I just had a quick question -- What lens works best for what type of light? Bright sunshine? Overcast? Overall? I seem to be partial to the yellow/amber/smoke but that's just me.. the smoke is kinda rough during the overcast days

IMO yellow/amber are great for all light conditions and backgrounds.

I second that. I go between outdoor and indoor play and the yellow is the best.

If you only buy one lense go for one of JT gradient lens. I have a yellow one and would recomend it. Its dark yellow at the top and fades to clear at the bottom, sort of like bi-focals. So you can look through the clear or the yellow. They make it in smoke and I think blue as well.

I'd recommend you get 2 if you have the cash. One of these, and then a dark one. Here there is just too much sun to get by with the light ones only.

I am also a big fan of the yellow lenses. The amber are ok but I think that they are less contrasting on overcast days. Not as bad as the smoke but not as good as the yellow. So yeah my vote is yellow

nice thanks guys .. I will probably pick up a yellow and a smoke -- since i have a spare flex7 kicking here.

Believe it or not one of the best ones is Rose. The reddish purplish ones. I didn't believe it myself but one day I was talking to Greg at National and he kept telling me this and finaly he went and got his mask out and made me put it on. It was wonderfull. Very good no shaddows no glare. I think I am going to go with that when I replace next time. Try one. You will be suprised.

I didn't even think of that -- The rose instead of smoke or yellow? Wouldn't the rose be a little too dark?

That'd look hot in my red/black Flex.

Again... I thought so too before. Until Greg made me try it on. I was totaly suprised with the visibility and its charicteristics. Blew me away.
