Hey guys, what do you use to clean your lenses? just thought I'd ask if there is an obvious cheap way to do so, I was thinking generic lens cleaning solution + microfiber cloth. Or do you need the "blower"? Cheers.

I use a spray and the microfibre cloth..and if the cloth gets too dirty i just wash it in warm water with a bit of washing soap. If theres dust on the lens the cloth will get rid of it, just dust off the cloth

An old pro I used to spend the odd day working for as a teenager always just used a puff of breath with a nice cloth. I've heard people against it, but he did it for decades, and I've done it for years with no adverse effects either.

I just use some lens cleaning paper, cheap as chips and does an awesome job

Normally a microfibre cloth. Or you can get those lens pens.

Breath and tee shirt for me most of the time.

But after this shot.....

It was a good squirt with water from a drink bottle over the whole lens and camera, then i had to find a patch of clothing that wasn't covered in mud LOL

I think cleaning the lenses is pretty painless. It's sensor dust which is a killer. Be careful when changing lenses not to let any dust in!
