Just a short tutorial how to clean ur optics.
U just need three cheap items to clean ur optics perfectly.
i) Cotton Tips (can buy in any supermarket)
ii) Lens cleaning tissues (can buy in camera shop)
iii) Acetone (can buy in pharmacy shops like Guardian) (If can find 99% acetone, will be the best)
That's all items we need.
Procedures
- For cleaning front UV filter (if any), just put acetone solution onto lens tissue and then wipe in circular direction from centre outwards. UV filter is very robust glass. So just wipe it with no worry.
- For cleaning front or rear element of lens, dont just anyhow wipe with force as u may make scratch. Wipe slowly in circular direction from centre outwards if u need to clean whole surface. Or if just want to clean specific spot on lens, use cotton tip and wrap lens tissue around the tip (change the tip location of tissue intervally after a few wipe). Use a bit acetone and wipe in circular direction.
Once done, u will get back ur mint sweet optic as new.
Warning: Acetone can react with plastic and rubber thingy. So be careful not to touch acetone solution to any other part than optics that u intend to clean.
Hope my tutorial may be useful to u all.
