or you can just drink a caprusun pouch and make sure all the liquidsout and then blow it up with the straw and blow the air on the camera instead of blowing the lens with your mouth ahahahhaahahahhaaha

Also, look for a "Giottos blower", its far less expensive than compressed air in a can and won't run out of air. Besides, aerosol cans build up a large static charge when used, this charge attracts dust and the dust gets blasted onto whatever you're spraying. I'd advise against it ;)

My word man! A UV filter is not going to protect your lens if you drop it!!!!! Its mainly to protect against scratches to the front element. Like when you're cleaning it with a cloth, While we're on cloths, a cotton cloth can put minor scratches on your lens, I recommend a polyester cloth. By the way, those swabs are expensive and they're for cleaning either the focus plate or a digital sensor.

you should use nothing but actual lens tissue or micro-fiber clothes. cotton clothes will scratch the lens

hahaha, why you need a can of compressed air, if you can use a pump, just push on the pump really hard and it wil give the same burst of air as a air-in-a-can does.

uv filters is the first thing you should get rid of. use the lens hood to protect the lens.

and that swab is a sensor swab, it's intended to clean digital sensor, not lens. if you wanna keep clean the lenses use lens papers or a glass tissue. nothing more.
