BYJ's sunglasses-to wear or not to..

I wrote about BYJ's Hasselblad's last year and found out how much better it is compared to an ordinary DSLR. However we have seen him in pictures with this mega kit using his sunglasses.
Point 1. He always wear them in or out so I could only suspect they are prescription sunglasses otherwise he would have a big problem focusing on things around him.
Point 2. I take pictures myself with a DSLR and I have taken pictures with sunglasses during the day. But I tried the other night photographing the moon using shades just out of curiousity.

Exhibit 1. This picture was taken by me wearing sunglasses during the night using an Olympus digital camera so I relied on the LCD monitor to capture the moon. Result's fine.


Exhibit 2. This photo was taken using my Canon EOS using a 35-80 mm zoom lens at ISO 800.

Exhibit 3. The following photos were all taken during a bright sunny day wearing sunglasses
Point 4. Hasselblads are far sophisticated and it actually has the ability to correct any errors whilst taking the photo. It has ultra focus digital feedback and a monochrome LCD display on camera top-plate. 3in
TFT screen containing 230,400 pixels on digital back. Therefore looking at taken photos would be a lot easier and clearer with less distortion.
Point 5. For more concrete evidence please follow this link to find out more about the effects of sunglasses in photography.

Conclusion: These were all based on my personal experience using a digital single-lens reflex camera.
