Okay Steve, is there any hope of me being able to order Seiko lenses here in
Canada? I'm taking a print-out of this with me when I return to the store.
The store I ordered from claim there are only 3 labs in Canada that make
lenses, and they already had mine made at the best, which they say are Zeiss
lenses.
I tried my new ones again today when driving, but honestly, they are so bad
I don't even feel safe. At a stop sign, you can't turn your head completely
90 degrees both ways, and the view is blurry enough at anything less that I
wouldn't trust seeing sufficiently an oncoming car. And the chroma is
absolutely terrible.
