image sharing sitesThanks! I found frosted version to provide nicer and more useful beam so I plan to swap the clear ones in the Meteor I am buying right now.
Very useful indeed!!

I had tried all of them: 10508, 509, 511. For indoors I have settled on 509 (in my mac's triedc) and for outdoors on 511. For my liking any of them is far better than 10507.10508 optics? If yes I have those, they're nice.

But if the Phaseburn's film can stand the heat in M43 then I think it is even better for it is said to have better light transmition.
Did you use the 509 or the 511----- Comfychair had a nice write up on polishing optics-- I find if you take some 1500 grit and wet sand the 511 slightly then polish with fine compound --the 511 will give you nice throw but with a seamless no outer edge artifact beam--I do this with all my triples --my meteor was the dedomed XP-G2 version with 70klux--changing to the 511 polished only dropped the throw to 62kluxJust bought the 10509 optics to try out. Had to shave down 2 of the 10511 optics to get it all to fit properly but once it did it was great. Picture the 10507 optics but nicely diffused for those wondering.

The light came this way straight from vinhIs it the Phaseburn's film? How does it feel in such a hot light?
100Kcd from the White 2s?! Holy Moly, imagine what the White 1's will do. I thought 70kcd from the E07vn was impressive.
I would say White 2 is better, better tint is always a huge factor, but that much more intensity is a noticeable increase. That much brightness isn't, too me at least. Man, now I'm thinking the White1 from M43 is going to be a real excellent combo...
As for which to grab, well, I'd say if the C2vn is as pocketable as an E07, that's a heavy edge because lumens isn't as useful to me compared to the intensity of a reflector. BUT, if it's annoying to have in a pocket, this *does* seem more like the kind of genre of light that you either are using as a main, or are able to have it in a bag or something. So I'd probably grab the Meteor. I do love the Meteor though, so I'm biased.
