Lens Identification Page (In Progress) 

Some notes on the terminology used on the following lens data pages
In terms of color, 
     "Blue" refers to a lens that is light to dark in color but appears green when illuminated unless otherwise noted.
     Yellow is used to describe any lens with a light coloring, Amber is used when the lens is a "dark" yellow, and Orange is used to describe a very dark lens that is much closer in material color to the red lens than to a yellow lens.

The Inscription notes refer not to the side the text is readable of, but which side it is physically marked on. 

Much of the data here is preliminary and only back-annotated from specimens on hand.  It is not an all-inclusive source.
