While cleaning my Sigma 24-135mm I noticed a small dot on the last but
one lens element. On close inspection it seems that a tiny insect
crawled into the lens and died on the glass element Now its stuck
there!!

Any idea how easy/difficult it is to reach that spot? I found several
screws on the back of the lens but am not enthusiastic about opening up
this lens as it is my primary lens unless I know what I am getting
into. Also, I doubt if there are any Sigma service centres in India.

Thanks for any help,

Take it to a camera repair operation,. They don;'t need to be Sigma
experts just experts at cleaning lenses. If you take it apart, even if
you got it back together properly, you will likely have more dust and junk
in the lens than you have now. If it is truly a bug, then I would get
rid of it. Organic matter in the lens is just likely to attract more
organic matter which over time will make a mess of this lens. --
