Taking care of Camera Lens and Optics

[oriole12]

Agree with Henry completely. I always keep a 'micro fiber' cleaning cloth handy for such an emergency. These days even shops selling spectacles give free swatch of micro fiber.Two caveats: 1. do not use force while wiping.Gentle is the word.as gentle as wiping the face of a baby or babe! 2.Keep the soft cloth in a small zip bag to prevent dust getting stuck on them. Otherwise it will do more harm! .

Planning to make a DIY diffuser for on camera flash.
I saw a couple of tutorials using plastic Milk cans and coffee filters.
Any first hand reviews/recommendations of DIY diffusers???

Re: D for Doubts

There are a few diffusers already available for on camera flash that you can try and would likely cost couple of hundred bucks if bought from eBay.

Just need to to do once for each camera/lens combination. Until you bang/hit the lens or the camera/lens is sent for service where the setting could be changed.
