Looks great. It is not possible to remove the lens but the sunshade or lens hood should unscrew. The hood is best kept on while shooting to avoid image degradation from bright lights such as the sun.

It's one of the best lenses ever mounted on a super 8 camera; you should have no need for a different one, but you may want to get a C 8 wide converter to lower the minimum focal length to about 4 mm.

What you are complaining of, though, is a little weird as regards how it got inside the lens. It might be a fungus? If so, close the iris and aim the camera to the sun keeping it that way for a few hours: this should kill the fungus at least according to what I've happened to hear in the past (never had any experiences myself).

Best of luck with your new "toy" - enjoy!!!!
