[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 181881, member: 13090"] Welcome to the forums! Beyond the standard advice about keeping your camera and lenses dry, and not changing lenses in nasty dusty places (duh), I only have a few cleaning tools that I use with any regularity... For general dusting off I suggest something like this [url=http://www.amazon.com/EcoTools-PP1200-Large-Powder-Brush/dp/B001KYVLSU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375790930&sr=8-2]large powder brush[/url]; $7 cheap and these things were *made* for lens cleaning. My other tools are a microfiber cloth which is good for de-smudging/defingerprinting lenses and filters. Get these cheap in the auto-parts section at Wal*Mart or Target. I also use canned air but the use of canned air can be controversial so I don't always suggest it. Other than that I try to take my camera in for a sensor cleaning every year, whether I think it needs it or not. My local place does it cheaply enough that I've never bothered buying a kit and doing it myself. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
