How often does the replacement lens have to be replaced?

Well, that depends entirely on the frequency of use. I use mine almost everyday. My lens needs replaced at least every other week. Only problem is, I don't know where to find replacement lenses thr correct size. Also, with my frequency of use, my headgear was broken within the first two weeks of its life.

The helmets don't last more than 3 months anyway, so don't worry about it/waste your money. We've tried 2, and they are worthless. :(

Unfortunately, no. Once a lens is scratched, there is no way to buff it out or anything. :(

Yes mine came with a five year warranty. I have had the lens for three years now and it has performed flawlessly. The lens is built like a tank and is more than capable of standing up to frequent use under tough conditions.

I've had mine for a few years and haven't really had issues with it. I personally think it is a gorgeous lens.

Usually every 6 months or so depending on usage. The machine will tell you when the filter needs changing

Not very often. It works for a couple of days, then the lens gets foggy again. Probably was a bad buy, in the long run....

I do not recall, and do not have it at-hand. I can tell you that I have not needed a warranty -- the lens works perfectly and functions as-new. :)

They are supposed to never need replacing, run for hundreds of hours. there is not one bulb but four groups of 3 small led lights surrounnding the magnifying lens. I use mine every day , and have had no problems.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. The replacement Frequency depends on usage. In my case, usage is moderate, less than 12 hours per week, so I expect the filter will last several years. The "cleaner" mechanism works very well to remove the more coarse grain dust, but the very fine dust will get trapped in the filter and build up over time. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit. I added a third party remote to complete the configuration.

There is a cartridge that can be replaced, I don't know how often it needs to be done! I haven't had mine long enough!

Yes, of course. Since this is a very high quality lens, it would be very unlikely that you will have to use the warranty. As a matter of fact, I bought and used many of the expensive Nikon lens during the last ten years, I have not yet sent any of them for repair.

The lenses are interchangeable so you do not need a different module. Please note though that you will need to focus the lens if you replace the lens only. Also, you will need to take care to make sure that you do not contaminate the imager with dust or debris when changing the lens. If you were to just replace the whole lens module assembly, you would not have to refocus the lens.Finally, we typically do not recommend changing the lenses back and forth frequently. The replacement lenses are sold for customers who have a damaged lens in need of replacement, or who want to permanently change over to a different lens type.

Check out the problems that the 17 - 85 is having. It appears that after 5 years or so it needs major repairs. I have a 17 -85 and am facing $250.00 in repairs right now and my experience is not unusual. When I called the repair shop, they knew what the problem was as soon as I told them which lens I had.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

I can't answer that directly as it depends on use, I expect. I don't think I've replaced one in over 5 years, but I always keep an extra on hand. I did buy one that was a dud, but think it wasn't a Canon one. Would never again try to get a cheaper one. Not worth the savings. I would recommend getting an extra new one to keep on hand if you're traveling, but sounds like yours are still going strong at this point.

I don't bother with warranties, generally. They are more hassel than benefit. Olympus lenses are well made. In over 30 years of using numerous film and digital Olympus lenses, I have never had a bad lens. I've owned the 17 mm f1.8, for over a year, and it works flawlessly.

I only needed to replace mine at most, once a month. I would say it really depends on if you leave the filter on when you feed your fish. By turning it off during feeding, I could sometimes go 2-3 months before changing it.
