3. If it is bad enough, take it off and run it under water in the sink.

Then I like to use a microfiber cloth to dry it. Best reason to use a filter; it protects the lens front element from dust, dirt, dings and sneezes. Love ya, Progmom.

5. Urine and cat fur usually works for me...but
only if the fur is still attached to the cat.

8. Time for a new camera!
Your lens will never be the same! x(

Sorry - you can send your camera to me and I will properly dispose of it. :freak:




















After all, what are friends for? :hug:

13. Things are bizarre in my world - my b-day was uneventful and
given what has been going on in my world, that is GOOD!

14. In all seriousness
there are kits available. Are you talking about the interior lenses or just your attachable lens?

18. In that case I would just use the same thing
I use for my glasses. You can buy these sorts of wipes almost anywhere.

16. It depends on what ails you
For camel snot, Kodak lens cleaner on a microfiber cloth is good.

For just dust, a big fluffy makeup brush (preferably one that you DON'T use to put makeup on anyone!) is just what the doctor ordered. Get one labeled "loose powder."
