		<description>I have cleaned the lense ( once) with the normal facial tissue. Although I have not notice any scratch or difference in image quality but just scared, would that be harmful ( I am not going to do that again ) actually my lenses got the mist from the niagara fall so I remove that with the help of facial tissue.


My lenses are 
18-55mm nikon
55-200mm Nikon

Please respond me as soon as possible because I am so scared. I have already ordered the lense cleaning pen and which is going to delivered to me pretty soon so I will use that in future and I have also ordered UV filter and lense hood</description>

		<description>For more selectively blowing away dust particles from your sensor, get a bulb syringe at a pharmacy.</description>

		<description>I did come across an interesting article about filter use. The author supported his views with photographs. In summary, his research showed that the air thickness varied between curvature of the lens and the filter and it did affect the picture quality.

This is a passionate topic for some, but to each his own.</description>

		<description>UV Filters or no UV Filters?

My own opinion?  Mount a good one, even though it&#039;s a waste of money.

Huh?

A UV filter might help with damage if you drop or slam the lens against something.  On the other hand, any hit of noticeable impact is going to deform the filter ring, making it difficult or impossible to remove from your lens without damaging the threads.  And, any hit hard enough to damage the lens (and trust me I&#039;ve dropped L glass from a camera bag without any effect) is going to damage the lens elements internally regardless of the filter.  The only thing the filter could really help with is if you slam your lens into some sort of corner which would have hit the front element, but miraculously got saved because it hit the filter and shattered that instead.

So, why mount one?

Some day you&#039;re going to want to sell your lens on eBay or Craigslist, and you want to say the filter has been there since you bought it because that&#039;s what the buyer wants to hear.

Or, you could just buy a crappy Tiffen UV filter for $8 when you&#039;re ready to sell the lens :-)</description>

		<description>Great tips..Thanks.. I used a cleaning lens-kit and clean it whenever i see a lot of dust particle on my lens front glass...

Regarding the use of filter, as fo rmy reseacrh, FILTER IS NOT DESIGN FOR LENS PROTECTION, and Lens maker did not consider to use filter for protection. Instead the lens hood and the lens cover is enough to protect the lens itselt. Filter also contribute vigneting, especially in a wide lens..whatever may be the brand.. That&#039;s why i never put any filter in my L&#039;s series glass. But you know, business is business, that why some people advice, specially the beginners to buy a filter for protection blah blah blah for their lens..</description>

		<description>A clean white cotton tea-shirt will should be fine to clean the external lens, dont even think about cleaning the internal surfaces without the correct equipment and knowledge. , just make sure there is no grit or other hard particles to scratch your lens, just breath on the lens if you need a bit of moisture.

If you don&#039;t have a UV filter on your lens, i recommend you get one, I buy always by &quot;HOYA UV(C) HMC Filter Multi Coated&quot; they are good quality and quite cheap $20 or so.</description>
