Cameras and Lenses

How do you clean your bins (optics)?



Hello. I wonder how you clean your optics. I usually rinse the bin under the tap then let them dry and perhaps wash of some remaning stain with a micro fiber tissue. I used to use an air-blower to remove dust before I started to clean with the tissue but even the smallest particle could damage the coatings and annoy me like hell, so now I try to avoid rubbing the surface of the bin with anything. How do you do it?


Hi Kristoffer, earlier this year I was caught in a tropical downpour and my bins had water inside them. I took all the lenses out carefully cleaned them with my lens cleaning kit,cleaned as best I could the prism with cotton buds, dried it all reassembled the bins and now they as good as new, it did me a favour getting them wet because I didn't realise how dirty they were.
