Carl Zeiss sunglasses
Hi
Anyone on here or anyone you know ever sourced out a pair of Carl Zeiss sunglasses? If so, where and approx how much for a non-prescriptive pair (just regular sunglasses)?
I know there is an office in downtown NYC but I don't layover there anymore. Germany, Japan, Switzerland, China are possibilities for me.
I remember reading somewhere years ago about this but no leads on the info. Below info for anyone interested, Cheers.
"Aviators sunglasses should be glass or polycarbonate; should transmit
not less than 25 percent of available light; should not distort
colors, distances, or shapes; should nullify the bluring of shortwave
reflected blue; and should increase contrast without
misrepresentation. Their adverse effect of visual acuity must be
known and they should not be worn during conditions of diminished
light. There can be special times when an adjunct pair of Yellow 1
glasses (that are not sunglasses) can improve vision..."

From what I can see, Carl Zeiss don't seem to sell under their own name anymore, but just sell their lenses to other frame makers.
I believe (But I could be wrong here) that Serengeti use them, amongst others.
You could always go retro of course:
I've got a brand new pair of Boeing-branded Carerras at home - from 1986! But I've been a Persol addict these last few years (Blame the Bond films I'm afraid).
