It would be quite useful if I could see through some of my lenses Ho hum....


Anyway what's your favourite cleaning "gadget" or most useful goodies for this task?

For some unsettling reason I had images of Freddie Mercury in drag singing 'I want to break free'...

For light dust I use a lensbrush; for stubborn stains a spectacle cleaning cloth. However I'm sure everyone has their own method.

NOTE: This advice is for lenses only, not SLR ground glass screens or sensors!!!

I have already decided I am too much of a coward when it comes to this. Get Carter scared me off and recommends a trip into Grays....

It's really dusty here, and I end up having to clean mine every few days. I don't touch the sensor with anything though, just a few quick blast with a small rubber bellows. I think it's probably better doing it little and often.

I'm thanking my lucky stars it's not full-blown Nikonitis...
Actually today I'm rather 'Sigmatised', as my f2.8 beastie should be here tomorrow I may need a bren-gun carrier to mount it though

I use some lens tissue and lens cleaner!

It works a treat suprising!
