quote:Unless the Lenses you want MUST be used, you can find a pair (new) here for 232$
Be aware these are new, but not new original pieces.
They are done to visually mimic the original Carello lenses. Original Carello lenses provided the amber and red color with a thin veneer of colored plastic. The reproductions use a sprayed-on tint on the inside of the lenses.
There are other differences, also.
Original lenses are very often found on European eBay sites with a little bit of patience and searching.
And yes, many of the European offerings are also for the new reproductions. If the auction photo shows them in a clear plastic bag sealed with a crimped metal band, they are the repo version.
Original versions will have either "Carello" or "Altissimo" embossed on the red reflectors common to both versions.
