Corky,
At the risk of sounding completely naive (I know nothing of welding)
couldn't you replace the lens/filter in the full face shield you were using
with a TM2000 lens/filter?

Ah, sorry, I did not describe the face shield properly: It's a full
plexiglass shield, not a face shield with a little window in it.

Yes, had it been the face shield with the window in it, I could have
replaced that window with the tinted glass from Tinman. But I would
have experienced the same problematic cutting off of the lower field
of view that I need for proper focusing.

Using the plexiglass face shield, you don't have to worry about
cutting off your field of vision, the entire shield is see through
tinted plastic.

Does that explain things better?
