Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

You know... It really depends on the terrain. I play in heavily wooded areas mostly so the Optic yellow lens works great for me, brightening everything up. It makes shadows easier to pick up.

If I am in a sunny open area, I use a mirrored lens.

And in the winter I use a clear lens so as to better distinguish color, becuase it's hard enough to find color in the winter.

Not so much. I used one for years with no problem. I switched back to the clear a few months ago because I was having compatibility issues with my glasses. Of course, I'm a big proponent of mobility and concealment as camoflauge, versus packing myself into a ghillie suit. I've never had anyone tell me they picked me out by my lens.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I voted Amber/Yellow because I picked one up for my Profiler this weekend when i was out at an event. one of my squadmates bought one and I tried his mask on it and it helped brighten things up quick a bit. If it was really sunny outside, I'd switch back to clear.

I think they are just tinted/smoke ones

With the amber ones, is it all you see is just yellow? i mean wouldn't that get really annoying after a while?

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

Just picked up an amber lense and I love it. The thing is awesome.

You get passed the yellow color quickly. It helps bring out colors and movements and is very good for cloudy or just non-bright days.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I have amber lenses in both my morph and my proto-they make even the slightest movements stand out in any enviroment--except for night play when I switch to clear.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

I love my amber lenses. It really helps in lower light, but not in darkness. It shows plenty of color, or at least enough to distinguish between red and yellow.

Re: Lens color you use in your mask.

Getting an amber for my profiler. I wear amber driving sunglasses and they really serve to bring out greens and reds.
