Transition lens glass

Just saw a T.V. add for transition glass for eye glasses. Would that work with lens for cameras?

In what way? If you mean to see the viewfinder image better, perhaps. If you mean on front of the lens, no - lenses, unlike a lot of photographers, can see just fine.

It seems that transition lens darken when you come into sunlight and visa versa. Perhaps used like a ND filter on the front of your lens. Perhaps I have bit off more then I can chew as my grand momma used to say.

The transition effect depends on direct sunlight for control. A lens hood would stop the transition effect at least partially due to shading. Also, a "glare" or "hotspot" falling on the transition lens causes different grades of darkening. I think the problem with a "transition" type filter would be the loss of ability to regulate the effect uniformly, effectively and repeatedly. Better to use a regular ND and have control over the whole scene, or a graduated ND to control exactly what you want to control. The photographer still has to be the one in charge of the filter, not vice-versa.
