It doesn't look like they sell just the lens.

Final Report

Post by Seadog » Sat Nov 28, 2015 1:12 pm

I received the Kijima replacement lenses today; photos below. They do fit. I'd say the quality is very good, but not great. They're a bit thinner than the originals, especially in the portion of the lens that fits inside the metal housing. The lens pattern is similar, but the lines in the new lens a bit further apart. The light coming through the lens is brighter with the new lens.
