Do you have a lens collimator and other equipment necessary for proper alignment when reassembling the lens? Otherwise take it to a reputable camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional do the cleaning.

Samsung SC-D353 foggy lens - what can I do?

If the lens on your Samsung SC-D353 camcorder is foggy, there are a few steps you can try to clear it:
  1. Clean the lens using a lens cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cloth. Be sure to gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, taking care not to scratch it.
  2. If the foggy appearance persists, there may be moisture inside the camcorder. You can try using a hair dryer or a can of compressed air to blow out any moisture that may be trapped inside the camcorder.
  3. If the foggy appearance is still present after trying these steps, there may be an issue with the lens itself. In this case, you may need to have the camcorder serviced by a professional.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or if you are having trouble clearing the foggy lens on your camcorder, don't hesitate to ask.

Repair diaphram on Nikon 18 to 200 G ED lens

Before you start disassembling the lens, do you have a lens collimator and other equipment necessary to realign the lens when you reassemble it? If not, you may as well disassemble the lens with a sledgehammer; it will work just about the same afterward.

Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to ensure proper alignment when reassembling the lens, take it to a good camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional clean it.

I have the quantaray lens ld 70-300mm. Was working fine until one day. When I look through it everything looks slightly foggy. Adjusting it doesn't help. Cleaned the outside lens. Would like to kn

Yes, the lens can be disassembled and cleaned. But before you think about doing so, think about this. Do you have a lens collimator and other equipment necessary to ensure proper alignment on reassembly? If you don't, please leave inside cleaning to a trained professional.

It's not clear. Like it's kinda foggy, Kathy

Is the eyepiece lens clear or dirty? Are any of the other lens dirty?

If not practice focusing on a distant object during the day time. Clean the lens and eyepiece with regular eyeglass cleaning solution and a clean soft towel or pure white kleenex.

1999 taurus has foggy headlights.

Most Auto Stores sell a headlight solution that cleans the fogginess of your headlight. Assuming your headlight looks dirty and cloudy as would a pool, a simple solution is to pick up the cleaner at any auto place. That is a lot cheaper than buying a new headlight.

Foggy Objective Lens on

No where at a reasonable cost. The B&L 4000 is being sold for about $200 or so on Astromart.

You can remove the corrector lens and try cleaning it yourself. HOWEVER! it must be replaced in the exact position as it was before you disassembled it. If you rotate the lens by accident you will not be able to collimate the scope. Just make a small mark on the edge of the glass and the edge of the tube so you can line it back up when you put it back together.

There may be some small shims underneath the glass edge. These also must go back in exactly as they came out.
