Bah--- I stopped being active on Blogger and my blog died again, eh? D: So sorry to anyone who actually likes my blog enough to check in on it once in a while. <33 Anyway, this flu-thing I have has eaten my appetite, so there's nothing else to do at 7 AM than put up a lens review, I guess. Haha.

Surprise, surprise! It's a lens review for something I actually didn't like. o: Specifically, my EOS V-205LB Brown from MyCandyEyes. I also have the V-205LB Greys (lovely lenses they are), which will be the next review.

Enlargement: 8.5/10 Like their grey brethren, the brown V-205LBs are rather enlarging for a 14.2 mm lens.
Colour/Design: 6.5/10 So the V-205LB series features lenses with the same pigment as the V-209LB/Dollyeye series. I was hoping for a more natural version of the Dollyeye Browns I'd owned, which featured a thick, black circle and a blunt pigmentation-- no blending there. Haha. Anyway, colour-wise, these are about right. Although in daylight, they tend to look more like a brassy brown than the yellow-gold of the Dollyeye Brown. Still, as far as a softer version goes, these fit the description. I just feel like the colour clashes with my skin tone...

Comfort: 10/10 EOS means my eyes are in heaven~~ .

Not much to say here. I was hoping for a version of the Dollyeye Browns with a softer circle aaannd..I sorta' got it. :/ I mean, the colour's nice enough, but it changes hues pretty often. @_@ From a distance, they're alright, but somehow, they're not too appealing to me. I miss the 'dramatic' design of the Dollyeyes. >.> I only ever wear these with three outfits: all of them feature golden or tarnished brass buttons so the colour sort of makes sense somehow. The V-205LB Greys, though? My favourite grey lenses ever. ♥

These lenses are pretty! If I remember correctly, you weren't a big fan of browns, were you? xD
ReplyDeleteYup-- that's exactly right. I don't like the brown, but I LOVE the grey. <3
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the lenses are super pretty... just not on me. Haha
I like the grey on you the best! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThese lenses don't really make your eyes pop which is a little sad :( -- I can see why you're not really into them. You definitely have other lenses that flatter you more but good review!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll feel better soon!
Grey looks wonderful on you ;D
ReplyDeletebut these are pretty intense (maybe its just the lighting) in the first picture, your pupils look slanted like a cat's or a snake's... i think its just me though xD
hmm you've definitely reviewed prettier lens :\ this one looks too yellow for my taste...
ReplyDeleteand finally you're back!!! I've been wondering where you were ^_^ ahaha and Im glad ur enjoying my travel series - god willing I'll finish it soon tho... people keep asking me why its not snowing in any of the pics since it's winter there right now...and I have to tell them it's cuz I was in Korea summer 2010 and STILL haven't finished writing xP
Michelle - Aw, thanks! Same here. Haha
ReplyDeletechung - Yeah, maybe that's why I don't like them that much-- there's no 'pop' to them. o: Huh...
Alex - Haha- no, you're actually right, I can kinda' see the 'slit' you're talking about. Must be the reflection of something.
Elle - Yep yep. That's the consensus I and few other Soompiers came to, as well. Too much yellow~. And that's hilarious about the snow question. You should just tell them thay it's like Australia and the seasons are 'flipped' there. Haha
