hello everyone,
im having difficulties cleaning my lens.
i have read almost every topic, here, about cleaning.
the problem im having is it feels like whatever i try is either scratching the lens or leaving a smudge.
i have took the advice of Rodne to get some DSLR optics cleaner solution (especially for camera lenses, as seen in the pictures) it came with an anti-static panther cloth and some rubbery swabs. the kit costed me $40 after taxes.
here is what i tried:
i have tried spraying the liquid on the cloth, then very gently cleaning the lens without applying any force. that ended up scratching it.
i have also tried applying the solution directly on the lens then waited for it to air dry, as expected, it left smudges where the liquid last dried
i also tried to spray it on the lens then tried to move the liquid with the swabs, that didnt work either.
what am i doing wrong? i did not try rubbing alcohol or acetone as i read somewhere that they are not good for the coating.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance!!
