Hey folks,

I was wondering if anyone could clarity something for me about the FJ XLJ lenses.

I was reading a post here from SEPT 2008 regarding the fact that the lens shape for the Flak XLJ was changed slightly do to a distortion issue with the Transition lenses. Now does Oakley still produce both sizes for the XLJ lens or just the more "streamlined" version.

Thanks for any info.

I think they just produce the newer/more streamlined version. I have bought several new XLJ lenses and they are all the new version. Much nicer IMO.

I wish they made more of the bigger version... the newer XLJ is too small for mi grande cabeza.

I'm inclined to agree, they do look nicer. Unfortantely, the older version worked better for me. I have a rather large and long nose, so the older, bigger lens fit my profile almost perfect.

Yesterday I went to the closest(well, only) O Store to my home and happened to notice that a lot of the Flak XLJ on the displays happened to have the older style lens.

I had the sales person pull some Positve Red, Gold Iridium off of the displays and I bought those. I was a little hesitant to buy lenses that were diplay. But they were flawless. Guess I got lucky.

Of note, on the +Red lenses, the date on the UPC sticker had a date of 02/05/09 and happened to be the older larger XLJ lenses. I assume that is they date were made?
