Is the number on the side of the lens removable, or does it remain in view? Thanks

It is removeable, however my friend and I have different strengths so we have left them on and you can't really tell while wearing them.

It is a sticker and can be removed. However, I have not removed the sticker. I left it on so that my kids won't grab them and use them.

As you face the lens it is on the bottom left side, next to the hand strap attachment.

The date code on mine is UV0420. There's not one mark or scratch on the lens, even though I use it often on the beach on windy days.

Yep! It's visible on the front, horizontal above the lens... Worked fine for our photos!

My 12mm lens shows the holder on the edges. I don't know at what point it disappears.

I don't touch it. I use only a mount lenses. So I never take it off. Never had a problem.

You can hold one in front of the lens but not screw anything on it. Don't forget it opens at F8 that's not so clear.

The serial number is on the bottom/back of the scope opposite the angled eyepiece. You should usually find it near the tripod mount bracket. I say "usually" because the tripod bracket can be rotated. In any case it's always 180 degrees opposite of the eyepiece. I'm explaining with far too much detail, because you really can't miss it - just turn the thing over and there it is :) It says "China" followed by the serial number.

Yes it's removable but didn't seem to last very long. Also ditto on the focus issue, and found the color of the picture changed 3 times during an hour record session. I sent it back.

No it is not reversable in that you cannot store it on the end of the lens when it is not in use, it is screwed onto the lens.

It's in the center on top behind the lens, you can't see it in any of the photos. It's there.

Apologies for not answering earlier.. Although I have not used it in a while, as it is a spare, the overall piece is light( due to the plastic frame construction) and I am near positive the Lens is glass.. Either way, it works when needed and was not pricy at all. Still would recommend it..

Another reviewer mentioned that there's a thin plastic protective coat over the lens that some people are not removing before using. Is this possibly your issue?
