Cleaning the Camera Lens

A simple and cheap way would be to purchase a cleaning kit.



A basic cleaning kit can increase the longevity of your camera. A kit consisting of a lens blower and microfiber cloth would prevent damage to your camera's lens and help your camera last longer. Regular cleaning of your camera's lens--such as using a blower to get rid of hard particles and cleaning oil stains with a microfiber cloth--will keep your camera in good condition. Also, wiping down your camera with a damp cloth after every shoot prevents fungus damage that may be caused by excess moisture.

Shutterbugs looking for a compact option can consider the Lenspen which is a pen with a cleaning tip on one end and an anti-static brush on the other. Its cleaning tip is specially contoured to clean a lens surface effectively, and its brush removes any other minute particles on the lens surface. Perfect for cleaning camera lenses, binocular lenses, small aperture spotting scopes and telescopes, eyepieces, and other optical items. Comes with a handy retractable dust removal brush and a special non-liquid cleaning element, designed to never dry out.

Here's a video with all the nerdy bits about cleaning your camera lens:
