Does the mask have a Purge valve also? Does the lens curv across the front &amp; ovr to the side of your eyes so frame doesn't block peripheral vision?

It does not have a purge valve, and the frame does somewhat curve around, I have had no trouble seeing all I needed to see.

It will be in the scope. However it is not as if it is blocking the recticle at all. I do not consider it an issue at all. You can perceive its presence at the bottom of the recticle but in no way interferes with my shooting.

No, it doesn't and you don't want VR on such a short focal length lens. The lens is very short and light. You won't pick up any hand shakes. VR or IS is useful for long and heavy lenses.

This type of hood has an intermediate ring that screws into the filter thread and it has a lock ring to position the hood. If the filter fits, the hood fits. Whether the hood will or won't mask the corners depends on the focal length of the lens. I cannot help you more than that. For the price it's not a great risk! Good luck.

I actually don't use any. It's a really good mask. I played all day with no fog.

Unfortunately I can't see myself when I'm wearing the mask, but I think the pictured model's face is small. It does need to extend beyond your eyebrows and cheeks in order to block out light.

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

Hi Nancy, No the mask is not contoured, but it is really soft and adjustable. I have found the contoured ones very uncomfortable as I am a side sleeper. The gentle pressure on my eyelids actually helps me to keep my eyelids closed during deep sleep. Was having extremely dry eyes and blurred vision before using this mask. Not any more. Hope this helps! Melanie

I don't have experience with the framed one but I just used this on a diving trip and it worked like a champ both as a mask and as a camera mount. No issues at all.

I use a thin uv filter mainly for protection of the front element. It works fine! This is a great lens and I think you will enjoy it! Take care, Doc

The lense are auto adjusting. But only set at 10. The helment is adjustable from the distance to your face. I havent tried the respirator yet.

The lens is not tinted. Personally, I wish it was and it is hard to upgrade for this mask. My advice to you is to get a v flex rather than the helix as with the v flex you can get tinted lens.I hope you enjoy whatever mask you decide to get!

i put the anti fog solution on my mask and i can see that being a problem. if you wear prescription glasses get prescription lenses in your mask. mine are all i need to see pretty well. if you dont i would have to say its a 15 dollar gamble.

I have puffy upper and lower eyelids and this mask works great for me. The eye holes are a little bigger than other masks I've used but I like that! I can wear it and see at the same time lol If my eyes are especially stubborn I'll put just a touch of PrepH and that helps too - mask first though

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.

Occasionally, I have issues with fogging. But, if you work with the bendable strip on the top of the mask, you can usually eliminate or minimize the fogging. The valve on the mask makes a big difference vs masks that don't have a valve.

Yes the mask does block all light frim coming through around your lower nose. The mask is also great for side sleeper as I sleep 75% on my side and 25% on my back.
