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.

There is a video on the Recon website you can watch. Also check YouTube for other videos. I was able to unclip the lens with a thin, 8-inch flat blade screwdriver. Didn't have to remove the mirror. Hardest part was getting all the wires & connectors back into the mirror casing.

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.

There's a tab that locks down onto the lens preventing you from "unscrewing" the lens out counter-clockwise. If you look at it you should be able to see what I'm talking about. You can use your thumbnail to push that tab up and rotate the lens counter-clockwise to release it from the adapter. Hope that helps.

To remove the filter from your lens you have to unscrew it holding the bottom part of the lens, not the top part because the top part adjust only the polarization of the filter. I hope this will help you Rejean

Hi Patricia. Nice to meet you. The process is easy. There is a small ring included that goes on the end of that camera. You just twist it on. Then this lens screw on that by turning it about 3 times. It's like screwing in a light bulb. It is easily removable. Thank you and all the best- Charlie

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.

Don't really know the answer to that. I know my son-in-law had one of those little lenses and had a problem with it, but don't know if that is the same one. Sorry.

Hello Matthew,Yes, it comes off and it can be remounted to use with the left eye. It's very easy to remove and swap over to use on the left side. Hope that helps.

Yes, the part that goes over the lens snaps off. The bottom half is attached to the tripod mount.

Hi, the knob on the side is a lock pin that you use to release the lens from the adapter (just added safety). When you want to remove the lens hold the lens and adapter vertical and push the knob straight down. Easy as that. Does that help?

It is removable. I can't find the lenses on their own on Amazon tho. I wish I'd purchased the XD5 with the four lenses to begin with: http://www.amazon.com/Optrix-PhotoProX-Waterproof-Interchangeable-Photography/dp/B00EGWHTUC/ref=pd_cp_cps_0

From what I can tell the outer covering is not the lens, but rather a UV filter of some sort. The lens itself is far behind the outer covering. So the lens is protected by default. I don't know the camera (yet) but I have been researching it a great deal and am knowledgeable about cameras.

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

The lens cover snaps on and off. A small flat screwdriver makes it easier, but you have to be careful. There are tabs on two sides of the lens that fit into slots. You don't want to crack the lens.

There is a clear lens and a tented one. If you get both it shouldn't matter. I think this is the clear one.

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.
