Rudy ImpactX polarized photochromatic grey lenses

[scribble]

I am wondering if anyone has encountered the same sights that I have since receiving my new Rudy project polarized photochromatic grey lenses. I notice when I am wearing them and look out the side windows of my truck which are tinted the view is rather sycadelic. The sky is purple, blue, green, and red. Vehicles that are painted green, blue, black and other dark colors look very weird.

Yup. Wait till you want to see an LCD display.

So I should wear them at work so I can go home early from getting nautios,

Tried the Rudy's polarized with my open gun (3.5 MOA Docter Sight) and discovered it obscured the dot. Don't know how the polarization affects other red dot sights.

I wonder what is causing the distortion and why?

All polarized glasses are that way.

They don't affect C-More sights at all.

I've used 'em for about eight months and don't see any visual artifacts other than the occasional "banding" effect that any polarized sunglass lenses tend to cause with certain sorts of window films, etc. No problems with my Bushnell HOLOsight or ATN Ultrasight. Haven't tried 'em with my Tasco Reddot yet.

It's due to cross polarization. The light reflecting off the window is polarized, as is the light coming through the lenses. Stress in either will compound the effect to create colors.

Solution: don't wear polarized glasses. It's not a defect in the lenses. It's physics.

I got em so I could relive the 70's...... :surprise:

Try the red lenses for shooting (non polarized). Makes the red dot or fiber optic POP

If your Tasco has the sunscreen like mine, it's polarized so it has to be turned to the right angle.

I had the Tasco just for a .22 Buckmark Contour URX, but I'm using the ATN on it now. Get to use it in a 4-gun match this Sunday. I'll keep that in mind about the Tasco if I use it later...appreciate the heads up, buddy.
