Maintaining Your Camera Lenses

With no doubt lenses is the most sensitive equipment in a camera

. Camera lenses should therefore be handled with great care. They are delicate and needs to be taken care of. I have never heard of any camera that functions without the use of lenses. That shows that a lens is an integral part of a camera. Different cameras especially digital cameras have different kind of lenses. These camera lenses vary according to their specifications and each need different ways of maintaining them so that they dont get damaged.

Having the best lens always means quality photos and most camera lenses that are considered the best are relatively expensive. That means if you are doing photography as an income generating activity, then you need to take great care of your lenses so that you cut the cost of having to buy them all the time to do replacements. To most photographers, working with the best lenses gives them the morale of wanting to take photos each and every time. Its like an artist and a painting brush. When an artist has the best brush in his or her hands, he or she will always want to do the painting all the time.

Taking great care of the lenses present in your camera can save you a great deal of not having to spend cash on new lenses. It would be bad if you are using those types of cameras with fixed lenses. With such cameras, you will have to buy another camera if the lenses get damaged. Lenses on digital SLR cameras can be replaced but are a little bit expensive so the best option is just to take good care of the lenses that you have. Here are some useful tips on how to maintain your camera lenses.

When purchasing you camera it is recommendable that you know which type of lenses it has. This will give you an upper hand in maintaining the lenses because you will have a better knowledge of which type of lenses you are dealing with.

Avoid possible scratches and dust accumulation on the lenses by always covering your lenses with the lens cap while not taking photos. Sometimes lens caps always accumulate dirt and dust and therefore it is advisable that you clean your lens cap regularly. Dont get too nervous if a small amount of dust is on your lens especially if it does not affect the image quality. If you get too possessive you will end up wiping your lenses all the time and that is not recommendable. In most cases when you are in the field and not equipped with lens cleaning materials you are likely to end up wiping your lenses with your fingers. These lenses are very sensitive and leaving fingerprints on them might affect the image quality.

It is highly recommendable that you let an expert clean your camera lenses instead of doing it yourself. If you can handle the cleaning then it is advisable that you use high quality lens cleaning materials. Use the best lens cleaning brush, wiping cloth and a blower.
