Cleaning my lens.?


What's the best way to clean a camera lens? I'm nervous..

Thank you.

Just buy a Pentax or PhotoSilk or other brand of lens cleaning cloth and a lens brush. In 37 years I've never used a liquid lens cleaner. A lens brush will remove any specks of dust and then just breathe on the lens and use the cloth.

After your lens is clean, buy a good quality UV/Haze filter or Skylight filter and keep it on your lens. Heliopan, Singh-Ray, B+W, Tiffen and Hoya are all good brands. Don't waste your money on cheap no-name filters.

I use a soft lens cloth and spray that I got from the eye doctor... I'm sure you can find the same thing anywhere that sells glasses, like the Sun Hut.

I also carry a can of air in my camera bag in case I get some dust on my lens.

Something like this:

Someone asked about having ruined her lens by using "body spray".
