I have two Nikon FM-2 slr cameras with four different lenses that are dirty on the inside. Can I use this kit to clean the inside of my lenses? It's impossible to find a professional cleaner that I can trust since I have to send my cameras out if I...

I don't think I would attempt this. It's takes a great deal of skill to dissemble and reassemble a lens. There is also the fact that some lens are coated on the inside and require special cleaners. This work is usually done in a dust free environment. Just my thoughts, Frankn

Hey! I got this bag it's great it came with a lens cleaning kit. Very small but useable and the bag. Not many extras but the bag is really great

The cleaner is mostly good for brushing off dust from lenses; I cannot imagine that your eye lenses (i.e. not contacts!) would benefit much from this item. However, it is a useful tool for professional and point-n-click cameras.

By inside, if you mean, the end that connects with the camera body, then yes. HOWEVER. the pen (not brush) does leave carbon dust and so be careful not to leave any on the "inside". Honestly, in all my years, I've never had to do anything to the camera end of a lens other than dust with a brush or blower. There should be no other dirt or finger prints as can happen to the subject side of a camera lens,

I only use clean care - as long as you use as directed it works great. I use the solution that has been neutralized to rinse before i put the lens in my eyes.

Yes, but apply the cleaning solution to the cloth you're using instead of directly to the lens.

This thing is terrific for larger camera lenses, but . . . My experience is, it doesn't work well for small pocket cameras. Both of mine have this tiny opening created by an (I think) metal iris. The tip of the LensPen will barely go through the opening and you can't move it around, which is required to clean the lens. I had to resort to lens cleaning paper (Tiffen Lens Cleaning Paper Tissue) and solution (My favorite is "Formula MC Lens Cleaner"). But, you must be careful not to get free liquid on the lens.

In terms of cleaning instructions, kind of. It gave a link on a slip of paper to their YouTube page, "DigitalGojaUS," and followed up by saying to look for "How to Use My Camera Cleaning Kit - GOJA." You could also just use this link: http://goo.gl/fXwcIm Also, each piece of the kit comes packaged, and have small instructions, i.e. The microfiber cloth has washing instructions if it gets dirty. Other than that there are no physical cleaning instructions that go into great detail. Hope this helped!

When looking through camera I see dust particales or fibers. Ive used my the hand air tool you squeeze but ive used that lense tissue and maybe I shouldnt but i bought the kit and i thought it was for the inside as well. How do I get it all out i hate seeing it while i take photos nothign really shows up on photos but its just the site and thought.....

I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

I have a chamois tipped cleaner (optics cleaner), it also has a lite brush on the opposite end, it's made for cleaning optics (binos, scopes, cameras lens). I've also used a lint free cloth to wipe the lens of my cameras, glasses ect.

yep.... check your contacts on camera mount, also on lens- clean with rubbing alcohol. Also, naturally, make sure lens is securely and completley mounted. Failing that, you'll have to send it in as it would seem you have a bad copy.

If the dust is on the lens, you can blow it away with a blower, or clean with a lens cleaner. But, here's something to keep in mind. I also noticed a lot of dust when I used this camera. Here's a picture with the example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blokh/7556804584/sizes/l/in/photostream/The dust was actually on the sensor and I didn't see it before. So I cleaned up the sensor and it is gone now.

Use lens cleaner approved for camera lenses (multicoated). Place a drop on lens tissue (not on the filter) and clean. You may need a dry tissues to get residual wetness off. After it is dry then you can use your microfiber cloth to clean up any lint. Repeat as needed.

I attach low cost clear filters on all of my lenses for protection from dusts, deposits and finger prints on the glass. Thus, I have never wiped, never contacted the lens glass. I clean the filters by using water from reverse osmosis in my kitchen whenever I find deposits and/or dusts on the filter glass. To my tests, I do not see my low cost filters make any adverse effects on the pictures taken by myself.

This is not the same lens cleaner used for glasses. I once made the mistake of using glasses lens cleaner on my computer screen and it created permanent streaks!! This cleaner is safe for use on your computer screen, lens cleaner is not.

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.
