ALCON,
- I took the liberty of putting together a few examples of each of the three 1665 Sea Dweller Tropic 39 acrylic lens types.
- Please let me know if I’ve mis-categorized any of them.
- Hopefully, this post will be helpful to those trying to get a better understanding of this interesting subject.
- Thanks to all the TRF members who shared their information on this topic.
V/R,
Mike
