Always love the LF line, don’t care what negative nellys say on here. Gonna get the pinedale in argyle

Get what you want, but don't be offensive towards people who think differently. Nobody will tell you not to buy a frame you like, but tastes are different.

Personally, I wouldn't get the LF models even if they were priced like the regular line, because I dislike those flashy embellishments.

So, the name of that Domoto-like frame is Challenger?
I'm interested too, even though I like the Domoto better.

The Johnny Clash is stunning, but that pin looks weird.

Yes, Challenger is the name. I asked the JMM rep last week.

I got this Panto Frame from an Independent spectacles maker from Scotland UK called Banton Frameworks.

I had tried JMM Kellerman before but they just didn't fit me right. The paddle temples of JMM doesn't fit me as I wear flat caps & hats and they come jn the way.

The ones from Banton Frameworks are more very tailored to my smaller face.

Photo 1: I put forest green tint with AR front & bank on my prescription. Transitions to Graphite Green Gen 8.

Photo 2: Me wearing them before the tint.

Just got my first pair of zephirins with a new Rx, does anyone trust a specific place in the USA to get their lenses done? I have seen a few mentioned on here, but they all seem to get great feedback.

If you have Progressive lens prescription, I strongly suggest you going to actual place. This is important as they have to mark your iris position for digital transitioning from long distance vision to short distance vision.

If it is single vision only, then Black Optical in Tulsa is good. Call and see if they can do it via post. If you don't need tint, any reputable JMM dealer store should work. They all send to their labs anyways. I say JMM dealers so at least they can handle the frames bit carefully.
