OK, Bryan, I'll play along.

Here are two of my favorite pairs -- the first is one of the classic pairs . . . very natural / timeless in their beauty; the second pair shows something of a lift / fish-eye effect / bulging perhaps . . . amazing what can be done with the "plastics" . . . but the long-term value just isn't there . . . in the end, I sold 'em.

. . . where oh where will this thread end ? ? ?
