Questions & Answers

I’m considering purchasing a pair of MJ STG HCL Bronze, and I already have the other two (I’m a sucker for a decent contrast lens).

What I’ve noticed so far is that I love the Oakley and the Serengeti for different reasons. The Oakley boost red and green, and bring out greenery in brightness that the Serengeti do not, but, the Serengeti push down the green in order to improve contrast and provide a viewing ‘experience’, it’s almost a perfect aesthetic. What you lose in bright green is made up for in unbelievable contrast while keeping colours relatively true and with no one colour being overly weighty, which often feels the case with the Oakley.

I’ve been considering getting MJ HCL Bronze, and I’ve read a few reviews and they look spectacular, like a first-rate lens, but I’m not sure where they fit in between the Oakley & the Serengeti, if at all.

Are they green-boosting or do they slightly mute greens to boost contrast? Do they push blue down like Oakley, or let the sky stay turquoise like the Serengeti? That reds will be boosted is a given with any decent lens, but to what extent compared to the others? And at what cost to other colours?

Thanks for any pointing anyone can provide. Using two lenses with which I’m familiar as a comparison will help me know whether or not to pull the trigger, or whether, for what I need them for, the Serengeti are already covering my bases.
