Lens damage
Dec 2, 2013 18:08:46 #
My wife calls me and tells me her lens is cracked and she does not know how it happened. I want to know if anyone has had this happen to them and if its a problem that should be fixed? It appears to be cosmetic to me but I don't want any moisture getting in. :-(

I would take it to a camera shop and have them check it. I have this lens and it's worth fixing for resale value.

Not a big issue. The weather-sealing is probably your biggest concern. I would suggest just sealing it up with some clear fingernail polish and don't worry about it, its not a function issue. Someday you may want to get the window replaced when you send the lens off for service or a different repair though.

Ok thanks for the feedback. Not worried about resale just weather seal. Ill mention the Fingernail polish to my wife.

I'd worry about the acetone in the fingernail polish.
For things like this, I just use Scotch brand clear plastic tape. It'll stick to anything and is crystal clear.

Looks to me like that lens is beyond repair. Best to just package it up real nice-like and send it to me. :D
