15.5mm DIA lenses

Good Morning Everyone!

This is Pink-Colour.com

So is it true to that lenses with a greater diameter give a greater enlarging effect?

But I've noticed that my clear conventional lenses and my regular cosmetic lenses from the optical centre have a DIA of 14.5mm... then why aren't their enlarging effect as great as my circle lenses with only 14.0mm in DIA?

Here is the response from our Japanese supplier:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Some Japanese site says their lenses to be DIA
15.5mm or even 16.0 mm....that means they are pushing
the lens flat and measuring it, like this;

Their actual DIA is 14.0mm to 14.5mm.

For example, our Angel EX series is sold as 15.5mm
on some Japanese site.

Actually, some of our wholesale customers were
selling our "Walkure" as 15.5mm...
so it is really up to each shops how to promote
their lenses.

Hope this answer will help.

So there we have it. The myth is false, and so lenses with a greater diameter doesn't necessarily mean they have a greater enlarging effect.
