How to clean the lens the right way

When I asked the first secret of their photographers, I remembered how important the fundamentals of a strong lens, and how they often go ignored.
Give me an example of attention to wireless Allure West Studios from Jung, who taught photographer specializing in wedding photography, seminars, as well. His sophisticated, "clean your lens." He said: "You will be amazed every time I see dirty in front of the human person shot me."
But even something as simple as wiping the lens can do wrong way, resulting in disastrous consequences. I told 史蒂夫海纳, senior technical manager of Nikon, the lens cleaning advice. There are more understanding than you think.
The general design of the lens, so that more light reflected by eliminating some paint. Most of the glass are essential, and some may be in the above application. The coating is tough, but not indestructible, they are particularly vulnerable to scratches. The problem is, wiping the lens allows you to remove the gravel acts like sandpaper. The following is the correct approach.
1) to air. First of all, as far as possible away from the dust blowing air, you can use, but not any air. "We do not recommend that you use any high pressure air," said Mr Hainer. Air compressor air from a small bit of oil price, it is difficult to get off the lens. Refrigerant used in air, it can take a gust of wind damage to frozen. "I've seen people shot blast, breaking factor," said Mr Hainer. The product of choice is a squeeze bulb. Favorite photographer is Giottos rocket air blower, which has reached fantastic fins that prevent them from rolling.
2) brush. Another method is to use the lens brush sweeps the dust from a lens, but be careful brush treatment. "You never want to touch a brush," said Mr Hainer. "This is the worst thing you can do, because your hands get the oil from the bristles." Oils may be particularly difficult to remove the lens. Mr. Hainer Staticmaster cited as one with a brush, often, but it is more expensive than air bulb.
3) friendly fiber. In most cases you need is a good lens cloth. They are now doing fine fiber, but get is good. How do you determine quality? "Difficult to have absolute certainty, so make use of reputable manufacturers." Cloth 3M offers from 5 dollars. A rub will last a long time, but you have to take care of it. "From time to time to ensure that you wash your microfiber cloth. As long as it in the washing machine," said Mr Hainer. The old standby, disposable wipes the lens is still available and acceptable, but never, ever use of paper products. "They are very, very rough and can scratch the lens surface," said Mr Hainer. "Even the toilet paper, it looks soft, but it is not." Always start in the lens of the concentric circles and wipe any sticky stuff pushed to the outside of the lens, in which a tiny bit residue can be credit card.
4) solution. Durable point for the lens, you may need a clean solution. Do not buy bottled products, mainly water and detergent. "You have made a bigger mess," said Mr Hainer. Slowly dry stick water and detergent can actually attract more dirt. Use of a common, fast drying fabric denatured alcohol applied sparingly, never in the lens. "If you put it in the lens, it can go." Do not have any alcohol? A perfect substitute for light cleaning is "a good shot in a huff, breathing," said Mr Hainer.
Finally, if you really want to wipe the lens, and there is no proper tools, a little bit of caution might be a fine improvisation. "I have been using the occasion I Shirttail guilty," Mr. Hainer said, "but I kept to a minimum."
