I need to update the Lens photo since I got a New Hybrid in Grey instead of Clear. Actually I need a photo shoot of a lot of things.

Nope, need both. Just missed a fingerprint on eBay. Sadly they're the expensive pairs

those look like mine! I remember that box. I wish I knew then that the box of some stuff would be worth more than what was in them.

Crack in the box, he needs to get rid of that asap, hahah...

Seriously speaking, super cool to see that gem! Thanks for sharing, stuff like that is what this place is all about.

Ah! Great! Never saw a "strip" sticker on any box before!!! Super!!! Even wondered if that ever existed!

@James : your Gen 1 collection is really nice! Indeed. I got a Fingerprint one recently and "only" seem to miss a carbon print and blackrain!

By the way, I am coming back with that again.

I really wonder what is that lens shape Mark Allen was wearing in the Hawai Ironman 1993. It seems to be a non-commercialized M Frame lens shape that is a mix between a sweep/heater and Strike maybe!

Would love to find infos on that!

M. Allen unknown M frame lens shape

Very nice. An OR member got that Red Iridium Strip lens and V Lens Mumbo combo via eBay. Great BIN price too, as I recall.

Waouah! Really nice! A french collector? Who can that be? I never saw these pics on O-Review but I have an idea maybe where they can come from though.

I actually was wondering if the "strip" lens was already available at Mumbo time, in grey or iridium, but feather in grey I imagined.

This picture seems to prove that yes. But, still, no sticker apparently on the strip box. And a M Frame era nosepiece.

Wow!

And thanks for your comments Alexandre. The collection is far from perfect (no boxes, some scratches on lenses) but I'm happy with it. Still looking for the illusive carbon and fingerprint pairs!

I don't think so. As sort of thought at the beginning of this thread, the Mumbo boxes and name stayed in Europe for a few more years. Strip was 1991, and Mumbo changed name in late 1989.

Thanks Dann for the precise detail. I didn't remember about the USA/Europe difference for the boxes.

Just thinking about it now. Have we ever seen a Mumbo lens box?

We know who that collector is hey Alexander ;)
I've never seen those spare lenses
I only spoken to him on weekend, whilst he has some items left I think they are all blades now

Buy the way the white mumbo V and spare +red strip are mine :)
I bought those along with a grey strip (which I'd swop for a blue)
