Does the mask have a Purge valve also? Does the lens curv across the front & ovr to the side of your eyes so frame doesn't block peripheral vision?

it does have a purge valve. lens is a good size that you get some peripheral vision.

It does not have a purge valve, and the frame does somewhat curve around, I have had no trouble seeing all I needed to see.

I was not able to snorkle with this item. It would not prevent water from coming into the mask. We had to use our older mask, different brand.

The mask does not have a purge valve, you'll have to use the more manual method to clear the mask. The lens does not curve, it is flat and the plastic molding covers the sides so it does limit peripheral vision. The lens is wide and does have a good field of view.

i thought the underwater per was great, although sometimes it was hard to see through my mask, which was my fault because of water leaking in my mask. of course there is a blue haze because you are under water. to get rid of that i think you need a more expensive camera with filter capabilities. for the price i think it works great!

To "Boog ?" A. Claymaker gave the best answer to my mind. You want it to fit just outside the mask to assure protecting your nose. Pointpilot

You can loosen the goggles to make them less "suctiony" but the plastic seal may still be more suction than you want. It would definitely be worth a try. The mask is easy to adjust.

I just took a look at mine...it's about the size of the tip of my pinkie finger. Lightly press your pinkie to the surface of the mask and move it over the narrow part of the frame. If it slides through it should be fine. That narrow area on my Mares i3 Liquidskin mask doesn't allow the magnet to move across...but, my Promate mask has lots of room. I'll admit that I bought another wiper for my Mares mask...one for each side. It works great as long as I keep them slid off the side of the mask when I'm not using them.

I use regular thickness filter - and have not had issues with vignetting. I am using the D300s so DX sensor may not be at risk as much. I do not have a FX sensor body so cannot say. Overall, the VR seems to help a great deal in low light situations.

Yes providing your mask is at brow level or lower. I use a more traditional paintball style mask and I just had to remove the detachable visor.

i put the anti fog solution on my mask and i can see that being a problem. if you wear prescription glasses get prescription lenses in your mask. mine are all i need to see pretty well. if you dont i would have to say its a 15 dollar gamble.

You can turn the hopper 180 and it will clear the sight, but I'm using a offset sight now. That works better for both clearing the hopper, but more importantly I can actually use the sight w/ my mask on.

Unfortunately I can't see myself when I'm wearing the mask, but I think the pictured model's face is small. It does need to extend beyond your eyebrows and cheeks in order to block out light.

I ordered the mask for my girlfriend who is near-sighted. She gave me a copy of her prescription. Under the "Dist" part of her prescription, sphere is -8.5 which is the number I used when I placed my mask order. I am assuming "DV" is distance, and "NV" is near. If so, I believe you would enter the "DV" number. The mask worked great for my girlfriend. She said she could see better out of the mask than her glasses. Hope that helps, Brian H.

I actually don't use any. It's a really good mask. I played all day with no fog.

some users have reported that if you can only see out of one eye that it does work as both lenses are the same. witch is what changes 3D back to 2d in passive systems. now I couldn't say if you will see any flicker or not but you shouldn't.

No the housing is not includ with the mask just the mount - but the Hero 3 comes with a housing which is rated for 130 feet so you can use it right out the box. Just ensure that the 'o' ring is properly lubed and seated

Yes the mask will keep out water from your eyes & nose. You will have to breath from your mouth

Doesn't impact vision. I wear swim goggles with it with lots of room to spare. You can see from the design that it protrudes from your forehead giving you clearance for mask. There is another Finis model that might give you even more clearance Freestyle Swimmer's Snorkel

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.
