I was wondering if anyone could chime in with any details on the M Frame Rust lens. I have an old brochure that shows Rust being a lens option. I have a boxed Rust lens that I bought out of Japan a few years ago. I can’t find any information searching online. Other than my brochure and lens, I can’t find anything online at all. Anyone have any info?

I have included a Persimmon lens in the pictures for comparison purposes (the lens that has the Oakley etching is Persimmon).

67 Rust

Rust lens was a substitute for persimmon before persimmons were sold. Rust exists only in hybrid, sweep, heater, 67 and strike. I have not seen rust of strip and V. I think rust changed into persimmons because it is a little dark.
I'm sorry if my English sentence was wrong

I believe this is correct. For a while, I thought it was an older name for Persimmon, and functionally they fill the same role. But since they co-existed for a while, Rust was a little darker.
