#114040 - 29/08/2002 23:48 original AR lens - 2 types?
Daria carpal tunnel Registered: 24/01/2002 Posts: 3937 Loc: Providence, RI	I just replaced the original blue AR lenses on both my players in the last few days. Now, I have both blue lenses here. I happened to flip both over at the same time, and noticed the AR coating on each is very different looking. One looks shiny-greenish-blue, while the other looks shiny-deep-violet. I'm going to have to experiment with some sunlight and see if there's a difference between the 2.
