How to keep your camera lenses clean

Here is a bit of information on keeping your lenses clean and working properly, and then I'll give you a couple of tips you should use only in an emergency, one of the most important parts of your camera lenses, is those big pieces of glass. If they have fingerprints, or dirt on them you're going to have a tough time since that affects the quality of your images. The glass is covered in special coatings, which can easily be scratched, so you want to use a blower to get rid of any actual particles on your lens first. Then to get rid of fingerprints, or anything else, that might be on that glass, what you should do is use a proper lens cleaning solution. Spray it onto a microfiber cloth, and gently wipe the lens. Listen don't say you heard this from me, but if you're on location and you don't have the solution with you, I've been known to breathe on my lens to moisten it a bit. Hope this info is of use to you.
