I figured that I need to order 2 Lens and the VPS-500A Parts Kit, but do I have to order a google to fit the lens? If so, which one? Thanks!

You don't have to order separate goggles. The VPS500A Parts Kit will fit to your separate lenses. That is the idea of the kit - so that you can use different strength lenses for each eye. If your prescriptions are the same in each eye, you can just buy other prescription swim goggles. But with different strength lenses, you purchase the lenses and the parts kit separately. Has been working great for me - over one year - no problem. Anti Fog has worn off- I just purchased an anti fogger here on Amazon.

Lenses have eye gaskets. So order lenses and kit which has strap and three sizes of nose piece.

no you don't have to order the goggle too. the lenses include the rubber goggle edges so the parts kit and the lenses will do it! enjoy -- they're a great product!

Yes you need to always order the goggles with the lenses, unless you already have the same goggles that match. Just be sure you get the same named goggles when ordering & are able to return if needed. I am not familiar with the VPS-500A Parts Kit. I usually buy View VC-4A which fit my goggles that read VIEW on the nose attachment. Sorry that I can't help more.

Two lenses (each comes as part of a goggle) and the parts it is all you need.

Thanks for your interest in this kit. Tamron provides a lens hood with the lens but it is NOT a VC lens which is the Tamron equivalent of IS.

Yes, my order did. I was very pleased with the whole process. You will love the lens.

The lens is threaded and you need the proper adapter for your camera. If I remember correctly when you order you let them know what you have.

You order the adapter from opteka with the lens.... Or call opteka and ask for the adapter for Kx.,.. Wonderful customer support team at opteka

if the lens is not around the $10,499 range then you need to ask the question. I purchased my lens from amazon. It was not a second, and no complaints.

I have the HS25 and there are threads to add filters and or other lenses on the lens. I purchased these but haven't used them yet.... I will get around to it one of these days.

It should come with a lens hood, at least mine did. Check the Richo web site for a list of authorized dealers. Amazon is one but many dealers are not.

Douglas, did you find a suitable replacement lens cover for the Regent GT-75? I have been looking since last August with no success. What did you end up ordering or using? Thanks for any insights you can share about a replacement.....

I'm not sure. You should call the manufacture. Here is the Vivitar support hotline 1-800-592-9541. They should be able to help you. I called them when I purchased my exact lens. They were able to clear up all my questions. The lens is amazing quality for the price. The only bad thing about this lens is it makes my DSLR a little top heavy. So you really should have a tripod if your going to use this lens for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

Tamron included a lens hood when I bought my lens so I don't know which other one would work. You might double check to see if the lens hood is still included.

I bought the 1.25 kit to go with this. NONE of them fit. They are NOT interchangeable. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother ordering lenses

I did NOT buy the kit lens...bought camera with the 18-200mm lens instead....love this lens....a bit heavy but just great....no need for multiple lenses.

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

I bought this same lens for my Alpha 200 and it didn't fit.. I had to buy another piece, so I just change my mind and sent the lens back.
