I had a new left lens in my eyeglass's replaced recently that lost the no-glare coating that left me with a large fogging on my left eye. The company that I purchased them from replaced the lens and I was setting outside enjoying the fact that I could now see with both eyes when I noticed a interesting color combination in a tree that I would like to photograph. I then started to wonder how the coating of my lens would be different from what my eyes see. I am getting ready to have a new eye exam and a new set of glasses made. My question is how would coating my new lens with no-glare, uv and polarization affect what my eye see's be different from what the camera len's see in color and light.

Forget using the LCD and the EVF with polarization.

Find someone who has a camera and knows how to take a picture. You look at a subject, the other person photographs it and shows you the picture. You then compare the picture with the subject, in the same light, and see whether or not the colours match.

One thing with polarized sunglasses: they really screw up the image coming out of your viewfinder if you have a mirrored camera. Most of the light coming off the mirror ends up being polarized in some fashion. It creates a birefringent affect that will drive one crazy. The other two coatings will have very little affect. In our coating lab where I work, we have black lights on our workbenches. I have a UV protection on my glasses. If I take my glasses off in the room, my sight picks up what I perceive as a very slight fog. What it is is the UV light entering my eye and illuminating the viterous fluid of the eye. I only see this "fog" when I enter the coating room where the black light is.

What want to know is why you feel the need to place apostrophes all over your text. Apostrophes are used when a noun is a possessive as in Jim's glasses. Your eye's are not possessive, they are plural and just eyes. And one of them don't see's nothin. Your eye just sees. Lastly a camera has a lens, not a len's but I have seen Len's camera. Sheesh! And don't even get me started on it's and its.

Good grief! I thought this was a photography forum not an english class

Who cares? The op got the point across.
Jeez, get a grip and try to help answer the question or keep your fingers off the keyboard.

Considering the substance of the original post, the apostrophe comments were admissible and sensible.

Baloney! The apostrophe comments were inappropriate in this forum, did nothing to help the OP or to answer the questions asked. The response only served to puff up the chest of the "intellectually superior" respondent.

Last time I got glasses, I ordered two pairs - one with no-glare and transitions [go dark in bright light, light in dark places]. The other pair was plain glass [both are graduated no-line bifocals]. The reason I did this was because the transitions lenses affected my ability to see through the viewfinder on my camera. Anything that affects my seeing what the camera sees is undesirable. Using a Circular Polarizing filter would really be a problem with treated lenses! As it turned out, I was not wearing the transitions lenses much at all, so this time when ordering a new pair of glasses I only got the clear glass. The old transitions are still close enough to my prescription that they make a good backup if my other glasses are broken or lost, or if I am going to be out in the sun for a long time without a camera in hand!

If you are concerned about sun, they make sunglasses made especially for fitting over a pair of prescription lenses!

Try Hoodman's Photoframes. They are titanium frames with both individual eye lenses in an independent swing-up design. You get your optometrist to put your formula in them. You wear them all the time and when composing with your camera, swing up the camera eye lens and compose. The other eye can see distance clearly because it is looking through a corrective lens. The frames are made so either eye lens can be swung up. You might check into them as an option. Your optometrist can put any kind of lens independently into either eye on the frames. I was very happy with them.

I am also irritated by the widespread misuse of apostrophes. I don't take it upon myself to correct people, but I think it is a shame that our education system is no longer teaching people basic grammar and spelling.

An apostrophe catastrophe?

Considering the average age of this forum's members it probably all went to hell close to when Kennedy got shot :)
