No, I am not from Viofo. I did some beta testing of the A129 before it was released. I also have another retail A129 installed in my car. Your lenses with the visible 'iris' do not look the ones in my cameras, so Viofo may have changed lens supplier for a different lens.Are you from Viofo?

I had the same question as my lens had the more visible iris. Viofo told me the lens had changed from view angle 140° to 135° (which should result in a sharper picture) but the aperture remains as F1.6. The net result of this is that the old CPL will fit the new lens. If you have the older lens then you need the larger CPL.
Hope this helps.

Most Dashcam buyers want wide angle Lens to capture as much area as possible, others prefer less side distortion, offering a choice at point of sale is welcome. Consumers select products based on product description, when received product doesn't match confusion is expected and option to return item is considered. The A129Duo is the most advanced Dash Cam sold by VIOFO, and like the A119S it was released early without solid testing, history repeats itself with the same A119S unannounced Lens changes which is unfair to A129Duo owners/buyers. The A129 Lens is being changed and I agree with the reason but it could have been handled differently.
You are complaining about a good picture?...It's to bad because this camera has a good picture...
The A129Duo has the most features and best designed currently. The A129 F1.6 wide angle Lens if perfectly focused has excellent clarity. May prefer wide angle Lens on rear camera.Thank you for taking the time and for sharing your knowledge on this! I guess I'm one of the people that prefer less side distortion! I don't care for the rounded corner fisheye effect I get with my a129 Duo. I have the uncoated 140 degree lens. This was my first dashcam and I had heard a lot of good things about Viofo cams so I researched them and waited for the a129 and bought one. I do agree that research and timeframes seem to be unknown to Viofo. In my opinion this dashcam should have never been released until the CPL and hardwire kit were available. I guess the rules are different with Chinese manufacturers. It's to bad because this camera has a good picture and with some refinement could be a "giant killer". BTW would I be able to change out the 140 FOV for the 110 FOV in my A129 and if so where would I purchase one? Viofo?
You are complaining about a good picture?
The lens being described as "uncoated" is a good lens, and also has decent coatings on most glass surfaces. A narrower field of view is not always good, it means you can miss things that happen off the side of the image which would be seen by a wider lens, on the other hand the narrower one sees a little more detail. It is a compromise either way and not possible to say which is the best, however the difference between these two lenses is not huge, especially in the horizontal field of view, and as long as they both give a good image is not really worth worrying about.
I don't have a Ford Focus, but:Hi people!
I take my viofo A129 today. I have a Ford Focus MK3.5 and it has a rain/light sensor on windshield center. Someome has a car that has the similar sensor? How do you do to install A129?
Can I put the 3m sticker on dot printed area?
If I put the A129 on right the windshield sensor, I will lose the partial angle on left?
Excuse-me because a dust windshield!!!
