Is this cover easy to take off to replace (cracked). Is there a special way? I have L820 (this saved my lens) <3 Earthangel Thank you.

I think you could easily remove it by prying gently around the corners until the adhesive loosens. Try using your fingernail. I wouldn't try sliding something under the entire cover, but just try to break the seal of the adhesive, and then you might even be able to slide it off. I removed mine once, when I applied it off-center and wanted to move it. I had no trouble doing that. Good luck!

it should just peel off if done carefully, I would suggest applying a little warmth to soften theadhesve

I have that combination. Without a skylight filter on the lens and the lens fully retracted, it fits like a glove. With the filter it won't quite snap. It might if it were stretched after a while, but up front no.

I have one and have no trouble with it. Why would this mirror be any different or more fragile than any other cam mirror? Don't worry too much about it. When changing lens, as usual, just remember to point the open-end down so no dust settles on mirror or sensor. It's not fragile unless you drop it. Even if it were unusually fragile, when encased in adapter housing, what could compromise it? That's what I think. If you are concerned about its fragility, then obviously you need not be warned about touching mirror with fingers or objects when changing lenses.

I've had my camera in and out of the case many times and the lens is still crystal clear. I think it would take a bit of abuse, other than a camera case, to scratch this lens. Very tough and great protection.

Yes and no. As a point and shoot with no replaceable lenses the lens is fixed. When the camera is off there are two sliding 'windows' that do close and cover the lens though. I depends on your expectation I guess.

Yes. The lens cover has a short tether cord which I securely fastened to one of the shoulder strap loops on the camera body. It's easily removed for shooting with two fingers, and cannot be replaced over the lens until the camera is switched off. No problem.

is the polish a protector? I was hoping for a few years not months...after all the car is 16 years old and this is the first time i need to do them and they are not that bad, kind of like the beginning. My lens are not yellow in anyway, just dull. Looking forward to "new lens".

I had my ELPH for two weeks and the lens cover stopped opening all the way up. I have to use my finger to push the lens cover all the way open. Sometimes it doesn't close all the either. I'd take a refund or exchange if I knew how to go about it.

If it's any consolation, I didn't end up pulling out the lens cover pieces - I just put the camera away in a drawer and forgot about it. About 3 months later I took it out again, charged up the battery and it hasn't missed a beat since! The lens works perfectly. So, maybe it just needs a rest, a kick around in the bottom of a drawer or a good thump...

I had one that looked like this. To get to the bulb, squeeze the lens by using a knife on the long side. Just a little pressure is all it takes. The lens is the translucent part. On mine the bezel is the outside part and is attached to the internals. On others you pull on the bezel but not on mine. If you get a lot of resistance, stop pulling on it. It may be like mine which can't be pulled off without a lot of damage to the plastic parts.There were no springs.

Sorry - it's too early in the morning - I answered before noticing that it was a question about the Sony view finder. If I'm understanding you correctly - the soft eye piece literally just snaps on and off. A small amount of force will pull the rubber cover away from the EVF unit. You shouldn't feel as if you are about to break the (expensive) item - but it just snaps off. Once it's off you'll see that the rubber cover is attached through a simple tongue / grove arrangement. Snap it off by applying pressure to the top of the cover rather than the sides.

there is a slide cover on the inside of the lens holder, very easy to replace, just refer to you owners manual.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Just to clarify: you want to know if you can easily put the lens on and then take it off without a lot of trouble? The lenses are magnetic so the only real effort needed is to remove your phone cover if it won't allow the magnet to do its job. Other than that, they come on and off very easily.

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

No unfortunately the lens is covered. I still use it all the time. I have probably been using it for 2 years and love it.

You can grab a regular lens cover replacement screen from Lowes. Lincoln KH619. Just type KH619 into lowes search on their website, comes up for $1.00. I replaced mines yesterday. It does come with one already. The replacement screen that comes with it has green plastic over it, Make sure to peel it.
