I've run across a "Lens Error" or two. You might be right, you might need to clean it. Here is a great tutorial showing you how to clean your digital slr camera.

If cleaning it doesn't work, check out this note from Nikon:
http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/348

Or, if you have a Canon, this page is specific to their "E18 Lens Error":
http://www.e18error.com/

Basically, if cleaning it doesn't work the lens is having a problem that may need some professional assistance. Both Nikon and Canon have exceptionally good support so I'd give them a call after doing the basic stuff listed on how to clean your digital slr camera and the two other pages above.

Good luck fixing your camera.
