My lens has internal fogging. The specifications are as follows:
1. The front section housing is 1.8" long and approx. 1.4" in diameter.
2. The rear section housing is 1.0" long and 1" in diameter.
3. It's a F:1.3 f=20~32mm zoom lens
4. The number on the lens is No.634379
I am looking for a replacement lens or suggestions on disassembly and cleaning. The fogging is on the internal elements (not easy to get to).

Hello Tom,have you tried placing the lens on a warm surface for a
period of time to help dry it out?

Hello Tom,

I have a few of those lenses in excellent condition, I'll take $50 for one, including expedited shipping. If you don't like it, for whatever reason, you can send it back for a full refund.

There is also one listed on eBay which you might be able to buy for less money - for the auction click here.
