> De Tails are here: http://www.3dlens.com/wideanglefresnellens.htm

you can also find them at local RV suppliers ... the lenses come in different sizes and are made by 3M ...

here's a write-up i did for the list a loooooong time ago ...

rear window: 3M has a thing called Vangard. it is a fresnel lens that allows you (in the driver's seat) to see things right at the bumper. well, almost. you really can see things close up much better. they come in three sizes: part number: 07950 Vangard 8"x10" 07951 Super Vangard 11"x14" 07952 Vangard 2 6"x8" costs about $10 for the middle size ... mine is the 6"x8" one ... and i find i really can't do without it now.
