Cleaning lenses This question may seem elementary but here goes: I constantly worry about dust and film on the lens of my digital camera. I have read many conflicting opinions about the best way to keep lenses clean, and I have tried them all. Generally I use a soft cloth and sometimes breathe lightly on the lens for a little moisture. My 2 worries are this: Harder pressure with the cloth might remove the remaining film but I am worried about scratching the lens. Any suggestions on effective would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

For dust and other surface contaminants, a simple blower-brush works fine. (Don't forget to "blow" inside the lens cap while you're at it.) For the other, (fingerprints,..etc.), I would advise against using anything except an approved lens cleaner and lens cloth. When using these, use a circular motion.
