oke maybe this is a dumb question but i have some doubts.
my girlfriend is latina.

i wanna give her a grapevine grape. but i liked the asianfit grape vine grape - with violet black gradient.

now am asking is if i order both can the lenses be swapped ?

thx again.

hope this stupid question won't hit a nerve on anybody.

I assume the grapevine asian fit would also have a smaller base curve than the normal ones. If they're like the gascans, most likely they won't fit.

I tought the lens were the same size and all, that it was just the frame that was different a bit ?

I'm not sure on the lens size, but I think Eric's right.

Read the review that I did on this pair. I really wanted this lens as well, but when I saw it in person...not impressed at all. They didn't look anything like they do in the Crosshair S. Very dissapointed, possibly a batch thing?

serious... an only the seem so nice.

pls can somebody verfy this..

an true because the frame has other dimensions i was wondering

If it's like the Riddle vs. Asian Fit Riddle, then the lenses won't fit. In addition to the frame being different, the Asian Fit Riddle lenses are smaller across, preventing you from doing a simple swap.

Yukio and I will go and double check everything tonight to verify all of the above. Stay tuned kids!

In addition to the frame being different, the Asian Fit Riddle lenses are smaller across

Same with the Gascans, AF lens are narrower compared to RF.I have tried it already.

Sorry this was a day late, but we didn't fail you! =)

The Grapevine Asian Fit lenses are in fact smaller than the regular Grapevine. So no swapping will happen.

As for the color, still not as attractive as I thought. They are more of a solid color, not much gradient to them at all; even when wearing them it's not prominent.

Hope this helps!

thx.. many thx. so no need to spend money on two same color frame just for the lens.

thx.

will buy the regular one.

anytime you adjust the dimensions of the frame, it repositions the optical center of the lens. So, modifying the frame to make it "asian-fit" requires modified lenses that are configured to the new XYZ position. That's why Asian-fit lenses don't fit into standard frames.

huh, my AF HalfJacket lenses work in other frames...

yes, it's a joke.
