Who has the best optics?
Speedglas 9100xxi
Viking 3550 4c
Jackson bh3 balder
Miller titanium
Optrel 2.5 Vega view
Jackson true sight 2 with balder

I currently have the optrel 2.5 Vega view and the Speedglas 9100xxi both have decent lens clarity but I think the Speedglas is better than optrel for clarity. I have not tried any of the others. What is the best for optics on the market currently?

I love my Truesight II. Excellent clarity a shade is consistent no matter what angle you are looking through it.

Yeah,

At a little over $200, that Lincoln 4C is tempting to me, as it's rated better in clarity than an Antra lid I'm using, even though I don't hate the Antra.

For affordability, seen a lot of good feedback on the arc one 240 that usaweld sells

I like the trusight 2 but it is front heavy and a pain to do a 5g position weld.
