Review: EOS Cotton (J-211) Grey

 
Alright, this is the last of the EOS Cotton series reviews: violet, grey, and blue are the only colours I have. :]]  That being said, I am absolutely enamoured with this series. <33  Thanks you so much for sponsoring these, Kiwiberry1's Collection

Enlargement: 6.5/10  At 14 mm, the J-211 series has veerryyy minimal enlargement. (Which I prefer.)



Colour/Design: 9/10 Hrm.  The grey is difficult to describe-- just as any colour in this series is difficult to describe. It's the design! The 'circle' is not really black, but more of a dark grey, which makes any of the colours look darker at the edge before fading into a lighter version of the colour in the middle. For the grey, the center is a rather light, pastel grey. <33 And I LOVE pastel/light colours.

- EOS Cotton (J-211) Blue vs. EOS Cotton (J-211) Grey -


- EOS Cotton (J-211) Violet vs. EOS Cotton (J-211) Grey -


- EOS V-205LB Grey vs. EOS Cotton (J-211) Grey -


Comfort: 10/10  As per usual, EOS lenses are a wonderland of airy comfort for my eyes. ;P



Looking at this lens overall, I'd say these are my new/future favourite grey lenses.  As you can see in the comparison pic above, they are uncannily similar to my current #1 grey lenses: the EOS V-205LB Grey. That's very fortuitous, as the V-205LB series has been discontinued by EOS. I believe I've found a replacement lens in these not-too-large, light grey beauties. ♥

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, Four, and Five.

  3. These are lovely!! Oh my gosh, they're so dreamy... I absolutely love the dark to light effect, simply stunning! <3 Out of all the ones you have of this series, I think these are definitely my favorite! I'm really growing a soft spot for grey lenses, so I'm quite tempted to search more on this series. For grey lenses, the lighter the better. BUT what I love about these is they're slightly dark, then give you that dreamy light craving of color in the middle. UGH I'm going on and on and I don't even own a pair LOL! *very tempted mmm*

    1. I'll reply on your blog, but here, too. (So I know I DID reply. Haha.)

      But just as the blog post's title says, these are the EOS Cotton Grey. The brand, as in every review I do, is listed first. So EOS, this time. :]

      And in the very first paragraph of the review, I link right back to the store these lenses came from: Kiwiberry1's Collection~.

      I'm off to comment on your blog so you'll see this wherever you check first. C:
