Firm blocking most of binoculars with warning regarding type of lens (9)
I believe the answer is:
biconcave
'regarding type of lens' is the definition.
'firm blocking most of binoculars with warning' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'binoculars' becomes 'bins' (short for binoculars).
'with warning' becomes 'cave' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'bins' with its last letter taken off is 'bin'.
'co' placed inside 'bin' is 'bicon'.
'bicon'+'cave'='BICONCAVE'
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
