[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 135634, member: 16"] First, blow any dirt/dust off the front and back lenses with a Giotto Rocket blaster, then gently clean the front lens with a microfiber cloth....GENTLY! Don't rub any dirt or dust onto the lens. Clean in a circular motion starting from the center and working your way towards the outside edge of the lens. If you have access to a lens brush, such as the one found on a Lens Pen.....use it. After you're satisfied that it's clean, take a few pictures with it and see if you notice any spots on the picture. To check internally, use a small penlight/flashlight (torch) and shine it up inside the lens from the bottom of the lens with the aperture open. That should tell you if there's any fungus or dust bunnies in there. :) [/QUOTE]
