Snoid, the lens was a sirius zoom k mount. A cheapo but I am not convinced that it was at fault. Anyhow, I've contacted Samsung and they told me that they can remove the lens so I will send it off tomorrow and ask them to tell me how they managed to remove it. If they do tell me I'll post it here just in case someone else does the same.
Still it does seem promising. I haven't used the camera in anger yet.
