Is my lens cracked?
Is my lens cracked? I've tried cleaning it but it didn't do anything. I suspect it's from inside the lens.
Any help will be appreciated

nfn Muhammad looks like a crack but looks can be deceiving. I suggest a crack detection with dye penetrant testing (PT). Get some fluorescein and wipe in on the lens. Let it sit for a short time (15-30sec) then simply wipe it off. Now use a UV light and shine it on your lens. If it’s a scratch you can wipe it off, it it's a crack the dye will have penetrated into the crack and continue to shine under the UV light.

Appreciate the suggestion, I'll try bringing it into a camera store for further inspection since I don't have the tools required. Thanks !
It can be difficult to ascertain anything from external examination of a camera lens. What sort of symptoms are you getting? What makes you think it may have cracked?

I have once dropped the lense accidentally, that's why I'm worried. However there's no effect in the image quality and it seems to be working just fine

@nfn Muhammad I don't think that is cracked - probably it's Lens fungus ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_fungu... ).
