What color lens?

[pb-afroman]

I'm just wondering what color lens you guys usually use when you play. I have been contemplating getting a yellow one for increased contrast, but I am afraid that it will make things unbearable on sunny days (which we get a lot of during summer). Post what color you use and the general weather you play in (Sunny, overcast, partly cloudy, indoor, etc.) so we can get an idea of what is working for other people.

Right now for me it's:
clear-sunny or partly cloudy

Yellow, all day, everyday unless i'm playing woodland in the winter (like thats ever gonna happen again!).

Sometimes go for a blue mirrored lens for the sake of it, but yellow is definately my prefered tint.

For sunny days I use a chrome lens. There is nothing better than these babies for keeping the sun out. On slightly darker days I play with a clear lens at the mo.

Will probabily get a yellow lens soon as aparently they rock.

Smoke Lenses all the way - if it's too dark to see 'em, then I'll Spray, Pray and Mug 'em

The lenses I use have a sort of variable mirroring. It lets more light in at the sides, but keeps a lot of glare out in the center of your vision.

I find this helps by keeping me aware of stuff in peripheral vision, but it is hard to play in lower light conditions. I've kept my clear lenses for that.

From a scientific point of view I am not sure at all, but would it not be possible to make a reactive lens, like the glasses? It changes contrast depending on the amount of sunlight on it. More sunlight = darker lens and vice versa.

I am suprised this has not been done yet.








can I slap a patent on this for paintball lenses

It has been done!

Don't think they are very good though, think it was on a raven mask...
