camera lens cleaner?

Question

ok how can i clean my camera lens..i have this lens tissue and a lens cleaner..?should i pour the lens cleaner in and wipe it with a lens tissue??

Answer 1

1) use a blower on the lens to blow off any large debris.
2) a soft brush designed for lenses would be next.
3) finally, moisten (don't soak) the lens tissue and wipe the lens in a circular motion from the center outward.

I prefer to use a microfiber lens cleaning cloth over the disposable lens tissues.

Answer 2

Do NOT pour any kind of liquid onto the lens. This will permanently damage your camera. Do what the above answerer suggested. Put a small amount of the cleaner on the tissue paper (do not soak it wet) and use it to genly wipe the lens. Make sure to dry it with another piece of the lens paper. If you don't have a camera bag/case, you should get one, as it will significantly reduce dirt on the lens and general wear & tear of your camera.

We all know the camera lense is very delicate, and the best way to clean it, must first be solved, by what to clean it with. Okay, so! .... ((googling it, is not the best idea, since internet sources are full of junk)) To clean your camera and any separate lenses you own- keep it simple. I've heard too many stories about people damaging their cameras by doing too aggressive a cleaning job. For most purposes, I suggest you use just three tools to clean your camera- a microfiber cloth, a sable artist's brush, and a rubber squeeze bulb. Most of your cleaning should be on the camera's exterior. use a microfiber cloth to give a general cleaning to the camera body and the front of the outer lens element. In a pinch, if there's no microfiber cloth handy, I suggest using a well-worn cotton t-shirt or handkerchief to clean a camera or lens. Why suggest a worn t-shirt or handkerchief? Because, the more worn the cotton fabric is, the more likely it is to be soft and lint-free. If you have a really stubborn fingerprint to remove, you can breath very gently on the lens to let a little moisture from your breath condense on the lens, and then wipe it with the cloth. sable artists brush---...why this? Just to wipe off any dust on the lenses, make sure not to touch the metal on the shutter, if it's a modern exposure camera. Rubber squeeze bulb-- well, just basically to blow away any access dust and dirt, without actually breathing on the camera. Need more info?

Good grief! Your Owner's Manual will tell you how to clean your lens. Although I've never used any liquid lens cleaner I know it has directions on the bottle.

Visit your local camera store and buy a Pentax or PhotoSilk lens cleaning cloth - and then buy a UV filter and keep it on your lens 24/7 unless you're using a polarizer.

Answer 5

Make sure you check what kind of chemicals are in the lens cleaner....many lens cleaners contain chemicals that can eat away at the lens and over time damage them.

Answer 6

NO!!! Put the cleaner on the cloth first then rub GENTLY then dry gently with another dry piece of the cloth.
