Protecting your Camera Lens
By Tony Lee
When I started taking photos as a hobby, there were many things I learned about getting quality photos. One of them was the importance of the camera lens and just how valuable it really is. I had many misconceptions about photography when I went shopping for my first camera. My thoughts were, if I bought the best brand name, best looking camera body that my money could buy, I'd be set. Although the quality of the body is important, it's the camera lens that makes it all happen. I quickly learned that since the lens can be one of most expensive part of my camera, I'd better learn how to care and protect them. Here are some tips that I've learned along the way. The first line of defense that I've found to protect your lens is simply to place a filter or lens cap on it. They are fairly cheap to purchase in comparison to the lens itself. Many times I've came close to bumping another object with my lens while taking pictures or just setting the camera on a table. I was sure glad my filter was in place to take the punishment. I now place filers on each and every one of my lenses even when I store them in their cases. This prevents any chance at all of them becoming scratched or chipped. Cleaning your lens is quite simple. Never us any abrasive cleaning solutions or clothes when removing dust from your lens. Use a hand blower as opposed to a can of compressed air to remove particles from the lens. I found that inspecting the surface of the lens with a magnifying glass will detect any particles left after using the hand blower.
Once your confident that it clean, then you can use your lens cloth to complete the process to remove fingerprints and other debris. Caring for your lens is one of the most valuable parts of camera maintenance. Keeping a lens in tip top shape will keep you producing great photos for a lifetime! |
