[stekow1111]

I would disagree with toching the lense with a dry tissue. I always use cleaner solutin on the tissue.

[anotherdizzymorning]

buy a big 42" LCD screen instead of a dual screen that looks shit with full moon broken into halves

[m3ntalysan3]

lol, try shooting paintball and having to cleaning a direct hit.

[bob8laboriza]

i have this very bugging problem with my videocam lens. it's easy to clean the dirt from the outside surface of the lens, what if it's on the inside? first i thought my lens was broken, by close inspection, the culprit is a fine cloth thread that when reflected in the light, looks like a crack in the lens. i can't find a professional video camera technician in our place, and i am afraid to open the camera for fear it might cause any irrepairable damage. hope somebody could help me. thanks.

jeez...he took out a digital camera, and never even adressed it???? dang, i wanted to see him do that one

[rizkibalki]

is it ok to use cotton?

[gibsongod123]

normally, no because cotton materials(shirts, cotton balls etc) release fibers that just get in the way and dirty the lens

[xxxxxxxDreamxxxxxxx]

thanks man , is it ok to use that lens tissue on a dry lens?

[Deadman1709]

Generally, NO!

Instead of using lens tissue, you can use spec cloth or microfiber cloth. A 100% cotton cloth is also good. A perfect clean T-shirt is OK

A good alternative is a lenspen. Simple, quick and easy to use. I still prefer the traditional method but in field condition, a lens pen is better.

About sticking a UV filter on your lens. Well, what's the point of putting a 20 bucks filter on your thousand bucks lens. Some filter may reduce your image quality so make sure you get a good one.

[xxxxxxxDreamxxxxxxx]

wow thank you so much for your reply that really helped alot, thanks so much

[ollem2]

never, never, never use a dry lens tissue on a dry lens. KN1V35X is correct in this case.

[faloc]

its not! Lens tissue is a special type of material to clean ur lens.... If u dont know anything about cameras or lens.. then dont post anything!

[xxxxxxxDreamxxxxxxx]

ok man im really scared now, I used lens tissues not cloth it said lens tissue on a dry lens is that ok?

[sexalicious21]

this is just dumb.

[KN1V35X]
