Did they fix the lense housing??

I had mine fixed under warranty (even though they never sold the Xacti range here in Australia) and it has never given a problem since.

This is my second DMC FZ and no I haven't. If cleaning the lens well and not shooting towards the sun didn't fix the problem it had a unique flaw.

The lenses have a similar shape to Oakley Half-jacket lenses. I'm sure you could replace them that way, or if it is still under warranty you could try ordering some from the manufacturer.

Haven't had that problem. The manual just says turn the camera off and check the connection. I'd worry that the lens electronics were damaged.

Yes I replaced on the same lens. It is not easy to install. If your not careful you can ruin the lens. Unfortunately the part is plastic like the original

If you'll notice, the inside of the fixed lens is threaded. They just screw right on to the existing lens.

Streamlight has a lifetime guarantee. When I sent mine back a few years ago they replaced a problematic part. I would assume that the lens is covered. While it is there they may updated other parts of the light.

The lens comes screwed into the housing with four screws, then the assembled light is screwed into place with another four screws (not supplied). I hope this helps. Serge

Not on either the surface of the lens (back or front), nor anyplace inside the lens. Check to see if there is anything on the surface, although even if there was it should be out of focus. Are you seeing this through the viewfinder of your camera (or LCD display), or when you look through the lens (detached from the camera)? If you do not see it with another lens on the LCD display, then the problem is with this new lens. If you do see it with other lenses, then possibly dirt on the camera's sensor. In either case, try to exchange the product.

The lens is clear. I've talked with Cooper customer service about the cracking lenses. I was told that some of the lenses, if not milled exactly to specs, can crack. She was very helpful and sent me a replacement light. Hopefully the problem with the lenses has been solved.

i DROPPED MINE ON A HARD WOOD FLOOR WITH THE LENS OUT AND THOUGHT WAS BROKEN - THEN FOUND OUT IT WOULD COST THE SAME AS NEW TO FIX SO - I THOUGHT WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOSE - SO I TOOK HOLD OF THE LENS AND JUST BENT IT TO BE STRAIGHT AGAIN - AND IT WORKED I THOUGHT I WOULD CRACK IT OFF BUT IT POPPED BACK INTO PLACE AND PERFECT AGAIN.

Mine was in perfect condition. A new lense should never have any scratches on the glass!,

Mine got bent and now opens partially then I open it with my finger. Took it to canon and they said it's not covered. Couldn't repair it either b/c lens cap is part of the entire lens. Offered me a refurb for 550. I said no thanks. Still using it but it's a pain.

When we first got ours we had the same problem with clarity and had searched all through the menu options with the blurry image trying to find it. The plastic part around the lens is what you use to focus the image. The first time it felt like that wouldn't move but if you keep at it gently it will work and then you won't have any problems moving forward. Once you fix the clarity you can read the menu better to adjust the image size. Good luck.

I can't remember who supplied it but mine is. I would definitely contact the company that is selling it to be 100% sure. Also check your glass when you get it, my lens had a small crack or mold in it; had to return it.

The paperwork with the lens kit says to extend the lense and screw on the filter. Although I am not an engineer, that sounded like a prescription to break either the threads on the lense/filter or break the camera, so I declined the attempt. I contacted the company and was told "We shipped what you ordered" so I gave them a bad rating and will not do business with them again.
