Another pleasing portrait of Lucy in "Donna" Rodenstock

glasses from the 1980's. The lenses are made of plastic and

quite thick by modern standards, but lens thickness was far

less of an issue in the 1980's than it is nowadays. Everyone

was in the same boat, so to speak. High index lenses only

became widespread during the 1990's.

Farishta was the only model who posed in these "Donna"

glasses before Lucy did her photo shoot. The other frame,

fitted with bifocal lenses, can be seen in my first photo shoot

with Marleen (first weblog, Marleen 007).

Another quiet but beautiful portrait of Lucy posing in 1980's

"Donna" glasses by Rodenstock. Just like the OWP glasses
in the previous series, this Donna pair has a difference of two
diopters between the lenses. The left lens is exactly in Lucy's
own prescription but the right lens is two diopters too strong.
Monovision again, but the difference with the preceding series
is that there is no squinting.

My collection hosts two examples of this "Donna" frame by

Rodenstock. Less striking than many of their sisters from

the 1980's, these "Donna" glasses escaped the attention of

most of my models during the selection process. A pity!

Here Lucy shows that glasses don't need to be spectacular

as a stand alone object. After all, it's the blend with the face

that counts. Rodenstock was second to none in designing and

manufacturing glasses that worked fine for their clients. There

is real harmony in this beautiful portrait. Great choice, Lucy!

Lovely, confident posing by Lucy in OWP glasses from

the early 1990's.

When I started my first weblog, it was simply meant as a

digital catalogue of the glasses in my collection. However,

during the search for models it turned out that some of them

had an almost identical prescription. It's nice to see how the

same pair of glasses works for different models - blondes

and brunettes, young and mature. These OWP glasses are

no exception.
