Help Me!!!!
I have developed several bruises on the external protection lens of my k750 (the lens with the blue reflecive coating) Actually the blue coating has been scratched and that causes pics to look very blurry.
Contacted service statoin, they told that its not a protection lens, it spart of the camera itself, but i know it is not.
So, is there any way i canchange/replace/remove that crappy piece of glass, and take some sharp pics?

Actually the blue lens part u're talking about is prolly there for a reason, that reason being...and I'm merely speculating here...to control the amount of light entering the camera. If u remove it u might find that all u're pics are overexposed due to excessive light entering. Again, this is just a thought. |

Has the phone been dropped or handled heavily much at all? If the photos are blurry it could be that the autofocus isn't working properly.
The coating on the lens, as already stated, is probably just for lighting levels or to optimise contrast, if it's come off it shouldn't affect focus I'd have thought. If you can clean it at all with something like a glasses cleaning cloth or a cloth like those that come with the T610 it may help.

its not an autofocus issue - u can see the sample pic here, u will notice that the focus is ok but the light seems to create an ambience/atmospheric foggy effect.
Unfortunately i dont have a 2nd cam to photograph and show u what actually has happened but i think u ppl have understood the problem - It so happened that while trying to remove some sticky matter from the lens (that got there thru finger contact), the blue coating has been scratched heavily.
Is this blue lens available as a replacement? Any ideas about price etc?

See what you mean, yes, that's most probably that coating that's causing the problem.
No idea on cost - you may be able to get it replaced by SE under warranty - I'm not sure if these kinds of things are covered by the warranty but there's no harm in finding out!
Otherwise, you could try and get a camera unit off Ebay (probably easier to replace the whole unit rather than taking the unit apart and fiddling with lenses - could do more harm than good!), or if you can get hold of a non-working or dead example cheaply enough.
