Circle Lens Review - EOS V-202 Grey


Here is my review for EOS V-202 Grey circle lenses, sponsored by MukuChu. These are 14.2mm lenses with very dense pigmentation and a small area of color in the middle, so they are pretty dark and intense.

The grey part of the lenses is very subtle and from a distance the lenses look almost black. This design is good for people who want dark lenses but doesn't want an all-black design.

Since the lenses are so dark, the enlargement is pretty obvious even though they are 14.2mm:

The design of the V-202 is very similar to the Pop.C Dark series, which I have a pair in blue. Here are some comparison of the two:

If you are looking for grey lenses with the same shimmery effect but lighter, the Neo Dali Extra Grey are a good choice:

Here are the lenses used in this review, clockwise from the top: V-202 right side up, Dali Extra Grey, V-202 upside down, Pop.C Dark Blue.



FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 6/10 - A bit dark for my taste
Enlargement: 8/10 - The thick black outer ring enlarges well
Comfort: 8/10 - Feels about the same as other EOS lenses, which are quite comfortable
TOTAL: 7/10 - Great for fans of dark lenses, but I feel that the color can be stronger.


Thank you MukuChu for the lenses!
