The specimen
Lens comparison
The same seven scenes, one locked exposure. This one is loaded against Prizm Road.
How brightness is shown. Every lens was shot at one locked exposure set on the bare sensor, so True exposure is the real light transmission. Your eye adapts, so a dark lens never looks that dark in life: Eye adapted raises each image by its measured transmission (perceived = transmission^0.5). Colour only normalises every lens to the same brightness to isolate the tint.

Measured figures are linear transmission against the clear control under one locked exposure, not a laboratory VLT. Oakley's stated figure is the number to quote.
What it is
The widest exterior to interior divergence in the whole set. An intense blue mirror outside, an olive green behind the lens. If you are buying Sapphire expecting the world to look blue, this is the image to look at twice.
