Another mistake I've seen over the years is people trying to use a big dark helmet for a wire welder. When using a small welder on sheet metal I like a light lens about like you'd use for for a cutting torch- helps a lot being able to see what you are doing...And no flux-core ever...

Mistake? If you can't see a mig weld with an #11, #10, or a number 9 lens then YOUR eyesight is already done. Don't advise anyone else to use an oxy-acetylene lens for arc welding unless you want them to be blind too.
