Hey guys,

Im a newb to the goggles department and I tried searchinf first, but no luck.

Were real lenses used in the movie? Or was the whole “interior” part fabricated?

Thanks!

Chris

Ha, thanks! I kinda figured, but I saw a lens for sale and it looked pretty close. I guess the plate that holds the lenses is also “movie magic”?

BusyBuildr’s plans are pretty good. I particularly like the way he attaches the lenses. I’d always had trouble getting mine to stay attached, and BusyBuildr’s approach is a really easy, really noninvasive way to do it.
