Re:snorkel mask w/ prescription lenses. to correct my nearsightedness, do I enter the ""DV" or "NV" number? my NV is 2.25. should I order 2.5?

I ordered the mask for my girlfriend who is near-sighted. She gave me a copy of her prescription. Under the "Dist" part of her prescription, sphere is -8.5 which is the number I used when I placed my mask order. I am assuming "DV" is distance, and "NV" is near. If so, I believe you would enter the "DV" number. The mask worked great for my girlfriend. She said she could see better out of the mask than her glasses. Hope that helps, Brian H.

It depends on what you'd eyeglass prescription is. You should check with you Optomotridt and find out what your prescription is and then get the diopter closest to that.Rich Signorelli

goggles dont come in sizes but in styles. Its wathever feel more conmfortable to you, the adjustment is done thru the strap. If you are talking about prescription it is usually what your glasses prescription is if its different on both eyes go with the lowest prescription. otherwise you will feel disoriented.

I did not really find any differences in the 'sizes'. I thought I bought 2 sizes, a Med for me, and a Small for my wife. But after using them both, I have yet to find out which is the smaller one. In reality, you must buy it and try it out. If you try it out, just remember to minimize any stubble around the mask / face interface. Also test the seal on the mask... meaning plug the side filter holes (with them off) and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face, you are good to go. If not, they the face / mask seal is bad. Sweat or Vaseline can help make that seal better. After all, that seal provides the filtration benefits you are purchasing the mask for.

There is two ways of getting your S/N#: (1) On the len's focus ring, you will see "A009N-xxxxxx" (just on the left of MAKE IN JAPAN"). P.S. The xxxxxx is etched onto the lens. (2) The S/N# is on the top left corner of the original tamron box. It is kind of big. P.S. I have to cut it out from the box in order to get the current $100 rebate from Tamron. If you cannot find it, you should bug the seller on why. May be it is gray market, or second hand. Good luck.KC

It depends on your thread size. Besides the lense size 18-55 mm, there is another number on the lenses that appears something like; 052 , 055, 058,062, 072. It starts with a zero with a line through it. This is your thread size. I hope this helped.

Depends on what your prescription is. The camera has a built in -3.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment. You want to buy the one that will allow you to match your prescription.E.g. If you wear +2 prescription, get the +2 and dial it down by 1. You would only need the - if you have to go further than the -3 that is built in. However, I have found that I do not use the diopter. When I have my glasses off, the images on the LCD are blurry. So I shoot with my glasses or contacts, so I can still view the images on the LCD.Hope this helps you decide.Chris

4.04 is from a specific vendor that I assume has worked something out with Amazon to be the default vendor for these glasses. If you look a little lower down you'll see where it says "New at $1.69" click on that link and other distributors will come up at a lot lower price. BTW if you want to buy some click on Aretex's link and order from me and I'll throw in a free pair of Radians Crossfire safety/sun glasses.

I think -4.0 and -4 are the same. If you are near-sighted, you should choose negative.

I just received my order. Right on the side of the box for Model DPG28 it has a label that says: "99.9% UVA-UVB Protection."Can we please just retain what we "think" and only share what we know? I was wondering this same thing before I ordered, and the comment below almost caused me to not purchase them. Then I figured that it would almost be impossible to have darkened lenses that don't offer any such protection, so I looked it up online and found a vague answer saying that they did offer some kind of protection. Very pleasantly surprised to see that they offer such thorough protection! I just received my order.

I bought a new mask frame and it now fits. It probably was time for an upgrade, although my old frame had nothing structurally or operationally wrong with it. My only complaint wasn't really about the product, but its display on the site. I just needed a little more information before I ordered. If you still want the flap number (on the new one or old one?), I can provide that later.

The goggles only come with a negative value which is for near-sighted. Mine were totally useless, terrible distortion, I could not use them and was given bad information by customer service. When I complained, iI was treated rudely. They offered no positive numbers for far-sighted

The 25 and 36 refer to the size of the lens opposite the eyepiece in mm. The larger the lens the more light it gathers. This of course makes for a heavier monocular and a larger one. I have a 10x25 and it is fine. You have to have a steady hand though in using the devise.

If you take a look at the front of any lens you will see numbers indicating the millimeters and the F range, these numbers have nothing to do with the size of the filters the lens will accept. Usually there is a separate number set apart from the lens type numbers that indicates the proper size filter to purchase. On my lens I see a O with a forward slash through it (sorry I don't know how to type that symbol) followed by the number 55, so I use a 55 mm filter.

Sorry, our lens only adjust single vision. If it is for snorkeling, bifocal/reader lenses are not necessary.
