Glasses and Transition Lenses

SamirD

I just recently got new glasses and opted for transition lenses. Now, whenever I shoot in bright light, I'm having to take them off just to see the correct brightness/saturation/contrast on shots that I've taken.

Anyone else run into this problem? It's like shooting with sunglasses on. :barb

If you're talking about the LCD screen and checking the photo....I can't see my LCD in bright sunlight with or without the dark glasses.

lol, I can usually see it. But when the lenses transition, suddenly I'm changing my shutter speeds to compensate for what I perceive is underexposure.

Shoot in raw, you get 4 stops of adjustment in post. If it's a little underexposed or overexposed, you can correct it there. Hope this helps.

I could always do that, or just put on my old glasses and just get the shot right the first time.

Oh well, I was just curious if I was the only one in the world that ran across this problem. After extensive google searching and a post on here, I guess I am.
