There seems to be issues with wiping the inside of the lens and it reducing the fog resistant coating. How does one correct that?

In my personal experience, I had no trouble at all with the fog. Even when I had terrible weather while skiing. I highly recommend these goggles.In case they get snow inside, I suggest drying them naturally and perhaps using a tissue for the outside lens.

You shouldn't need to wipe the inside often, if at all. Don't rest them on your forehead and they won't fog. If you somehow get snow inside them shake/blow it out and allow them to air dry. With all the vents they will dry and un-fog themselves quickly. If you treat them well, they will treat you well.

You have to make sure you buy the correct lens cleaner for the lenses, only wipe them with a dry microfiber cloth and never wipe them with your fingers. Sounds impossible but the coating works great and it keeps the fog away 99% of the time. Whenever I got some fog I just wiped in some more of the protectant(comes with the goggles) and boom good to go.

Rain water pools on the outside of the lens without problems. There is a small hole on the lip of the cover to allow drainage but if the light is angled up, the water on the anterior surface of the lens doesn't reach it to drain. Moisture condenses on the inside of the lens on a hot summer day due to moisture in the air at night. So far, none of the bulbs have blown out since I installed them in the summer. They are all working without a bulb change even now in the winter with snow. The only issue I have with this light is that the metal cover often does not close tightly. I used few daps of silicone to secure the cover closed. Rain water pools on the outside of the lens without problems.

you probably have dust in the lens. This is common if you keep a camera in your pocket. you should contact sony and have them service it (it's still under warranty, and dust in the camera shouldn't happen so quickly. FWIW, my T1 took about 4 years of in the pocket before I noticed dust, and now I notice lots of dust.)

I had the same issue on my Sig SP2022. Used a lens cleaning product from a company called Italian Gun Grease. It worked really well. Wiped off the soot without problems, and no apparent scratching. The company only sells one lens cleaning product. You can find it on their website.

I think the problem is that the lenses are getting dim. Try to clean the lense from inside and outside

Hi there, I were glasses too and all I have to do is adjust them before I lower the the helmet visor. As for fogging up this is not the best sometimes it does but once I take off with my motorcycle it clears in no time.

If there is condensation inside the lens there is a crack in the lens cover or a bad seal. I have not had any problems at all. The picture is clear and bright. You do have to keep the lens clean. Even works perfectly at night.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I just leave the monocular in the protective sheath and wipe the lenses from time to time with a computer screen cleaner. Joe W

Others complained of moisture getting inside, so before I mounted on my tractor I ran a bead of clear silicone around the lens and where the wires exit the housing, just to be safe. Have had no problem so far with any moisture inside of the light.

Occasionally, I have issues with fogging. But, if you work with the bendable strip on the top of the mask, you can usually eliminate or minimize the fogging. The valve on the mask makes a big difference vs masks that don't have a valve.

havent had any problems with these. but condensation problems can be cured by taking a small drill bit an put two little holes in lowest part of plastic lens

The answers here are good, the dust may be on the camera sensor, not on the lens. If the dust is truly inside the lens, you will need to have it professionally cleaned. If you just bought the lens, the cost of that should be covered in your warranty. Talk to Canon. I had another lens cleaned recently and their turnaround time was just a few days.

The anti-fog coating does seem to help eliminate fogging inside the mask from breathing.

Just a novice, but I installed a 52mm screw-on UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it from scratches. This keeps dirt off the lens and allows me to clean only the filter with alcohol wipes without fear of damaging the lens. If the UV filter gets scratched, it is easily, and most importantly, inexpensively replaced. Check with a real camera store for cleaning materials for lenses. On-line searches for camera forums should also provide a wealth of information.

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think I have done anything to inhibit lens movement and I have wiped the lens mechanism several times with a soft cloth. I did contact Olympus but because my warranty period had ended several months prior, they were charging $189 just to diagnose and if it needed something "extensive" it would be an additional cost to repair it. I plan to purchase another camera instead of repairing it but it will not be an Olympus. Bummer, I really liked this camera when it worked.
