Nel 439



Pensive mood.... Nel showing the fine polishing work done by Zenni on the 1.57 standard lenses in more detail. What looks like a carrier lens is in reality the edges of the lenses polished under an angle of 45 degrees to reduce lens thickness so that these big glasses could fold up and be shipped to the Lowlands of Holland. Aside from a nine dollar extra charge for the high perscription, Zenni did not charge us anything for the polishing job. The effect is very much like a favorite - and quite expensive - white pair of Formlenti myodisc glasses made by Christian Olivier in the late 1980's. Nel used the Olivier glasses to great effect during the catwalks at the opening of my exhibitions in Holland and Germany. It's nice to have an affordable alternative by Zenni available now.
