The chrome lenses are more expensive and they weight more. Are the chrome lenses really better built to justify the extra expense and weight? Any experience from the LUG? >> Mike, they are essentially the same. I have, however, noticed that they seem to have better quality control on the chrome lenses as far as the small details. For examples, the screw heads are better on the chrome lenses and the screw holes are drilled more precisely than on some of the black lenses. The chrome lenses are much heavier. I don't think there is any optical difference. Tom Shea
