Got a clear ashbury lens from tactics (no case, bubble mailer lol) and it does not quite fit in the anon frame. Very close but doesn’t engage the magnets fully - lens inner frame doesn’t seem to be as wide as the goggle frame. Perimeter of the front lens is too wide too.

good to know! thanks for the rnd.
whoever the factory is making them must have just nudged the mold a bit to make it different enough so B didn't get mad.

I’m pissed I sold off my M3 and lenses.. went to M4s only to go back to M3 due to wearing a helmet.
I got lucky a few years back getting anon lenses off of some prescription eyewear site for CHEAP. No way I’m paying more than $50 for a clear lens.

yeah, I thought I'd be scoring some nicer optics with m3 lenses, but even at industry pricing they're $65.

Anons are way overpriced. I've always wanted to try a pair of M4s, but they rarely dip under $200 on clearance (let alone their $300 MSRP). The Syncs always go way on sale, though.

I will say that I’ve been very happy with my M3s and M4s. The M4 night lens is a godsend in the Midwest (and storm days).

I was truly shocked to look up the price for Anon M4's here in Japan -> 50,000 yen. Basically $500 for us. That's a hard nope.

While looking for lenses I found a set of NOS Mine77 M3s.. came with 3 lenses (sunny, overcast, night) on eBay. Threw a lowball offer at $185 and was accepted. Was going to sell the frames but I kinda like them since I wear plain fits on the hill..
