Ive had my Nokia n95 8G for about a week and since the first day ive been going to many shops asking if they have some sort of lense protector. I think it "sucks" that everytime I put my phone in my pocket or on a table I must always be carefale not to scratch the lense. Well since there isnt much we can do now, seeing that we've spent alot of money on the phone, ide suggest that when some sort of product comes out in the market that can protect our lense please let us know. My email is: sendricardo@hotmail.com Please let me know! PS: if I touch my camera lense, will I be touching the actual camera lense or is there some sort of protection? - Ricardo de Freitas Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:02:23 +0100 http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-N95/N95-Lens-Protection.html#pc_237 Simon- It would be nice, but I doubt that Nokia is going to do anything for us on this one. It's a bummer, but looking at the N96- it seems that the lack of decent lens protection is gone. Judging by the results of the poll at N95u, it's obvious that the cover has not been removed due to 'popular demand'. Out of 200 votes, not even 10% agree that it should have been dropped... but whatever the reason is- apparently Nokia is not listening on this one. I'm disappointed with this every single day. Colin- you're on to something here, but I fear it's too much of a job for me to tackle. You can purchase the blackplate from the N95-1 with the lens slider, but that's not going to do it for you, because the LED has been rotated to the bottom from the side of the lens. The old camera unit is also for sale, and runs about 60 bucks. I would gladly spend 60 dollars for a lens slider, but I don't think I'm up to the task of swapping the camera modules... at any rate, I agree- the current scenario with the smudge magnet camera 'cover' is BS, and an insult the the good name of Carl Zeiss. I'd love for someone from Nokia to step up and have a discussion with the users on this issue... if anyone is still listening out there. ;) I'm not at all satisfied with, nor do I believe, what we've heard so far. - PseudoFinn Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:55:18 +0100 http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-N95/N95-Lens-Protection.html#pc_236 Well I have just had my N95-2 8G for a week and I too feel it is a let down not to have the ability like the N95 to protect the lens, I read somewhere along the way that it was left out due to the new battery..utter nonsense !..has anybody figured out if we could mod the phone and fit in the old style version ? must be a few broken phones out there that we could rescue the assembly from !.It is frustrating that Nokia would not think this problem thru..Perhaps the communication/recommendation needs to come from the folks who helped them out..aka Carl Zeiss, so maybe we all start to let the folks there know that we have a problem with their contribution, and that it is damaging the good reputation of Carl Zeiss optics !..this way the power comes from within the corporate structure, and lets just say nobody wants to damage a good brand!..Nokia seems to be dragging their butts on this matter so we need to look at it from a different perspective!.. - Colin Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:24:35 +0100 http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-N95/N95-Lens-Protection.html#pc_235 Hi James. I have the same problem. Can't see how I scratched it since I have the phone in an original CP-235 Nokia case. I think it is the anti-glare coating that comes off even with wiping it normally with a cloth of with your finger.I used a proper optical cleaning cloth one day & that's when I noticed small scratches. Doesn't seem to affect picture quality. My coating is now almost totally gone right in the centre of the lens. Perhaps nokia should put out a notice, and replace the back covers free of charge? - Simon Sat, 23 Feb 2008 04:37:10 +0100 http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-N95/N95-Lens-Protection.html#pc_79 Hey James- welcome mate! Yeah, the scratches are extremely light- I think the story is that it's just scratching in an anti-glare coating... even though I get quite a bit of glare off that little perspex window at it is. I just wonder if it would affect the photo quality down the road, when there are more of them. I just can't imagine how I'm scratching it at all. I've seen a few pictures like this from other N95 users- same story, carry it in a pocket with nothing else. Frighteningly careful with it at all times- still scratched. I mean, I know it's just a tiny little sensor and it's not a dedicated camera or anything- but we are talking about 5pmix Carl Zeiss optics here, right? I agree the slider mechanism had a pretty cheap feel to it- but I still preferred it to this. How do you feel about the mechanical slider on the N82? The ideal slider would be one that isn't manually operated- something that is opened by the application when it loads. Hold down the capture button- slider opens... What I believe affects photo quality is finger grease and other smudges. Even when giving it a decent wipe with a shirt corner every time I pull the thing out of my pocket (perhaps this is how it is getting scratched- could it be that light and soft of a coating on the lens? How should I be cleaning it every single time I pull it out of my pocket?) it seems there's still residue on that bum lens cover window. - PseudoFinn Mon, 26 Nov 2007 02:55:03 +0100 http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-N95/N95-Lens-Protection.html#pc_78 I noticed that surface scratching on the trial N95, most disappointing. However, does it actually effect the photo quality, the scratches do look incredibly light. - James @ Nokia Creative Mon, 26 Nov 2007 02:38:49 +0100
