Code 3 MX 7000 lens-colors (pics inside)

Some eye-candy for you:





From back to front: amber, magenta, green, blue, red, clear


Not shown: CIE-blue (Europe)


I had an CIE-blue MX but converted it to red/clear/blue.

Very cool. Any chance you could photograph these lenses side by side, so there's no overlap. The magenta over amber makes it look pretty red to me, I'd be interested in seeing just how much different it really is. Also, do you have information as to when/why a magneta lense was produced? Doesn't seem very useful to me.


The purple MX is awesome, I'd love to have one for my collection. Very jealous!

I could probably take a better photo if I ever thought about it, but a side-by-side of the six colors we've got on a homemade 80" MX7K.





Magenta... not too useful in most areas beyond funeral escort roles (depending on the color rules where you live), but Australia seems to use them more often (HazMat, escort, and a handful of other uses, which also vary between each territory).

That MX is awesome! Would like to have a 80" or 91", too. But I guess shipping to Germany is too pricey.


Like all colors being used at the same time. Pretty unique, I guess.

I stored them in the basement again already. I'll take new pictures of my collection including this lenses in 2013.

Purple? It's dark-blue. Looks almost black "in real life". What a pity I sold the CIE-blue parts.

Oh wow, my mistake. Upon further review the officials have decided that I need my eyes checked. Regardless, it's sweet.

There's a market for them allbeit a small one.


Magenta/purple is used over here in Australia for a few things. One State (Western Australia) uses it on Department Of Environment and Conservation "HAZMAT" response units for some reason, whereas every other State uses it on their States heavy vehicle/transport inspectors/enforcement vehicles.


In New Zealand they use magenta/purple for heavy vehicle/wide load escort pilot vehicles for some wacky reason.

Thanks for the info.

Most men compare other things, here on ELB, we compare bar sizes!
