From the O store in the Florida Mall, the staff there were very friendly and helpful.

Now that really helped, my lens is a lil bit loose too. Thanks james.

After a bunch of research I found it's not always the frame or lens thats the issue. It can sometimes be a problem with the screw length and hole depth.

I have found if I shorten the screw a little bit which allows me to tighten it a little tighter it no longer moves. The screws are so long and the hole is shallow the screw bottoms out and cannot be tightened anymore.

Now before anyone asks I shorten the screw with a file then use a tap to make sure the threads are clean so it doesn't crossthread when I put it back into the frame.

Interesting, I was wondering if that was a factor at all.

Brilliant thinking, by the way- you get an A in Applied X-Metal Engineering 101.

I did the same thing once with a Penny which shipped in defective.

I would up having to get a new screw and cut across it at an angle, which made it seat perfectly.

I've done the same thing with two of my Hatchets because once the screws are removed on those they can be very reluctant to go all the way back in.

That was the the case with my wife's Juliets as the frame wasn't tightening around the lens. I wasn't going to file it though as it was in warranty so I sent them off to O UK and they replaced both the lens's and the frame. One thing I noticed about the lens was that the old lens was etched with polarised on the outside and the new one was on the inside. When looking at from the outside you can't see the words but when you take them off and hold up to a light source you can see . Is this normal? I mean if you have polarised lens's you want people to know right?
