Description
The Pilla Outlaw 62CIHW is known as the “Watermelon Plus,” is a high-contrast lens designed for medium to diminishing light conditions. It is engineered to provide a balanced visual profile while significantly highlighting orange targets.
Key Uses and Features
- Target Enhancement: It combines a pink-based filter with CMX3 Max Orange technology to make orange and pink targets “vivid” without overwhelming the eye with too much colour.
- Background Management: The “Watermelon” name refers to its ability to contrast pink/red tones (targets) against green tones (backgrounds), effectively neutralizing greens like trees and grass.
- Ideal Conditions: With 62% light transmission, it is perfect for:
- Cloudy or overcast skies.
- Dusk or low light at the end of a shooting day.
- Field hunting for small game birds in varied light.
- Visual Comfort: It is described as a “calming” lens that reduces eye strain while maintaining crisp definition, making it suitable for all-day use.
Comparison to Other 62% Lenses
- Vs. 62CIED (Golden Berry): While both are 62% transmission, the 62CIED is an “Enhanced Definition” lens that lifts the entire spectrum for a natural view. The 62CIHW is a “High Contrast” lens that specifically pushes the orange/pink hues for faster target registration
