I'm starting to see an issue with my W-20 wide angle lens. It's seems a gasket or seal under the first layer (closest to the camera) of glass is breaking down. I can see slivers like pieces of it under the glass. Some are starting to move towards the center of the lens. Is this a known issue or something that can be repaired? I bought the lens in May of 2010. Follow the link below to a video I've posted so you can see what I'm talking about.

Any help would be appreciated.

Carefully pack the item and include your name and address. A telephone and/or fax

Please include a brief description of the problem or a copy of this thread. You may also want to insure the package. Send to:
