@etaab:
The 1st time i damaged my priginal protection lens, which was nothing but a thin, coated pit of plastic. It was replaced with another plastic lens, which didn't last either. So, finally I got myself a glass lens, and it's going fine!
@Max:
I guess i have answered ur query - it's a simple glass, uncoated - but makes no difference to the picture in any way.
@marques:
Well, to be honest, there are actually very few people willing to undetake such a flimsy job, but look around, and you'll find someone who'll agree to it for a very decent price. I got my replacement done at a watch-repairing shop, and yes, the person did have a tough time gringding it manually, but at the end of the day, it was a well-made effort, and the person was more than glad that he could be of some help to me!

@IRFCA_WDG-3A Yeah you will surely have to approach a watchmaker as an optician unless really hard up for money will probably turn this down.. I know I would..

Interesting, I guess then the IR cut filter is a coating on the lense itself, or else the camera auto-corrects for IR. The T610 had a sliver of glass you could remove (not the lense cover itself).
Good to know, I'll go your route to replace my lense then. Mine's more or less unscratched, only some marks in the coating not evident in pictures. but I can put that in my bro-in-laws phone (he scratched his badly).

AFAIK, the only role of the external lens is a glare-reduction coating - having replaced the lens, the only issue is a bit of a lens flare at night, when shoooting sources of light directly (eg, the headlights of an oncoming car).
The IR-cut filter should be located either inside the inner lens, or could be a coating on the lens itself.
I have tried IR fotograffy without the external lense, and it comes out fine.

Nice tutorial IRFCA_WDG-3A, I think I'll end up replacing my lens glass too. It has some tiny streaks but I haven't noticed any decrease in picture quality. so I'll wait and see if it gets any worse.
so it's a little hard to get the glass... mmhmm, that could be a problem for me here...

Hi,
Have anyone in Singapore done this? I have changed my casing from K750i to W800i and in the process scratched the lens. The problem is it is hard or even impossible to find someone to replace the lens and while this smethod is ingenius, it is hard to find someone who is willing to do the process of cutting the lens for you. Maybe a piece of plastic would be fine for this purpose too ?
Also, Without the coating from the glass or plastic, what will it affect?
ANother thing -cost. How much will this process cost?

Hi, sometime I use a slight damp cloth to wipe the lens, is it OK? Will this damaged the lens coating? Thank you.

so, maybe small conclusion?
what we know for sure:
1. this isn't lens - this is just protection glass
2. not convex nor concave
and this questions must be resolved:
3. what size have this glass (diameter and thickness)?
4. any influence on colors?
5. opaque to IR or not?
6. glare reducing (dispersing all over the entire surface)?
7. after removing old glass should we use glue to stick new glass?
