What is the difference between clear lens and smoke lens?

The smoke lens is helpful for outdoor swimming. The clear lens is more suitable for indoor pools and competition events. When I swam in competition years ago they were not available and the chlorine burned your eyes. It was a problem to do my homework.

Smoke is light a tint. A lot of people wear tinted goggles in poolbut while swiming indoors and prefer clear.

Honestly, I don't know. They're not dark like wearing sunglasses inside and I'm sure if I swam outdoors during the summer they may help with glare and the sun but I only plan to swim indoors . I just got the smoked lenses because they look cool.

There are three models. One is black. One is grey and one is clear. I have the clear version. Sounds like you have the gray (or smoke) version.

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

They come with a #5 welding lens. Waay too dark for everyday use. Perhaps the clear lenses (or you could buy aftemarket tinted lenses) would work. These lenses may also not be shatter resistant. If you get hit by a rock, it could take your eye out. M/C goggles are meant to take road hazards. Your local motorcycle shop probably has better alternatives though.

No, I don't believe it does come with the clear plastic lens, but I don't remember. I say this because I bought this for my dad's truck. I'll have to get back to you on this to confirm if it did or didn't. Sorry.

I own the Firefield, my shooting friend has the Barska. We both agree mine is clearer, and a little sharper 300 yards, and farther. His lens has a yellow cast when viewing thru the lens.

Not sure if it will work because the 'rust' lens does tend to minimize vision in lower light, of course, this is using driving at night with the 'rust' lens versus a 'clear' lens with the same prescription as an example; although never been involved in sporting clays.

I don't have any numbers for you. I can only tell you that the difference is very small. From clear to a light smoke color, that's all your gonna get. Only about 20% Sun blocking power. Not much.

I am just an amateur but I will try to answer your question with my limited knowledge. The only difference between the two is that they fit on difference size lens. If you are referring to the darkness of the filter, there are different types of neutral density filters. The lighter ones help reduce glare and (may) slow motion depending on your choice. The darker ones will slow motion more, such as blurring water from a waterfall and are (generally) more expensive. The lighter ones let in more light and the darker ones will slow down your exposure (up to) 9 or 10 stops. I hope someone will more knowledge than myself will explain it more to you but I hope this helps a little. I am just an amateur but I will try to answer your question with my limited knowledge.

I use the yellow for a porch light, it does not attract bugs and it's easier on the eyes. Also, the lenses are interchangeable and can be bought separately if you ever need the white one.

This lens is for close up pictures at relatively short distances. The other is a telephoto lens for taking close ups of larger items at longer distances.

While building vacuum it is a bit louder and for longer, then while vacuum is built they seem to be about the same. Also, knotty has a great video showing the differences on YouTube . Smoke output is about the same between the two.

There are two schools of thought. I would say the most important question answer personally is whether you are intending on selling the lens at some point afterward in almost new condition. If you are then keeping a clear filter will keep it looking new. There is a small optical penalty to the clear filter. Whether you will be able to tell is also a personal choice. I would say a new phtotographer won't notice the difference.

The T at the end of the model references the Tech line which all come with smoked lens.Thanks

Huy..no more than any clear glasses that get dirty or smeared, cleaning is essential for clarity as with any eyewear. I too can see at 20/15 latest check with my new IOLs, but wear the Gunnar clear to eliminate a glaring problem with my left IOL which is a Crystalens adaptive lens...nobody knows why it is doing this, but with the Gunnar Optiks it is corrected, problem solved.

No, it's not dust in lens. It is moisture condensation. Now, the camera is dry. Every picture it took is great without the ghostly translucent round spots. Guess the problem I have is different from yours.

There is no longer a distinction between the hazy & the clear. Unless it's an old left over clear (unlikely), if you buy the Clear, you will get the Hazy
