I sent to you on pm the list of authorized repairs shop for inon, from their website, but a bit too late, since you already sent the lens.

 

To open the lens, is pretty simple, you need to unscrew the 4 little screw of the lens hood, then there is another even littler screw, you need to remove it. After that, you can open the lens like a jar, with the outer metal part that unscrew from the main body. This metal ring, is what keep the outer lens in place.

Thank you @Elvandar. I have just read your PM. Inon is also going to do a pressure test, which should test that the seal is correct. I hope they do not put dust inside this time 🤞.

Thank you @Davide DB. I have finally sent the dome. Shipping was not very expensive (15€ + 18€ for roundtrip) but the overall cost is over 150€. However, I have requested the original damage piece so I can test with it. My idea is to try to see if I can polish it.

it would be very useful if @Elvandar could share how to open the lens.

I am in a similar situation. Basically, I've got a few scratches on my UFL-G140, which are very clearly visible in the videos. I do not know how it happen because I take a lot of care but I guess it is unavoidable.

Elvandar, I saw you wrote to Inon as well as to the shop. How did you reach Inon? I have sent an email to [email protected] but I did not get any responsein 10 days 😔. I have written to the shop where I bought the lens and they says that it is possible to change the front but the lens should be sent to Japan, was it the same for you? The price is also a little bit higher.

Hi All,

I am Mitus. I usually dive in the north of Spain (Cantabrian sea), which is dark and can be a little bit rough but it has a lot of surprises. I am currently starting to film with GoPro equipped with and semi-fisheye and macro lenses... not big results yet but I hope the forum will help me to improve and, maybe, I can also have some contributions 🙂
