I noticed last night after my dive that i have a scrathc on the lens to my PT-010 Housing, is there a place i can order a new lens?

Thanks
 
It is highly unlikely that you will find a replacement lens or any other parts other than the main O-ring. I have already been that route with a zoom control spring.
Does the scratch show in your photos? Most of the time they do not on underwater use.
You can try backscatter.com as they may have a lens from a trashed housing that they canibalized for spare parts. That's how I got a spring.
Here shows you how to remove the lens port assembly.
 
I haven't heard of port lenses being replaced. Are you sure you can see the scratch underwater? Most of the time minor scuffs and scratches are filled with water and never seen in the photos. Or you could take the glass to a glazier and see about having another one cut to fit.

The only person I can think of to refer you to would be Yuzo at UWDigital Camera.
 
Not sure it can be seen, i checked my shots and i dont see it.
I will test it this afternoon after work.

Thanks for the advice.
 
Took a few shots through the housing this weekend and didnt see any hint of the Scratch. Thanks for the advice.
