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 want them professionally cleaned. If I can do this myself, it would be great, as my poor cameras have been sitting on the shelf for several years. I'm tired of taking photos that process out with the stray piece of lint in every. single. photo. Thanks! I have two Nikon FM-2 slr cameras with four different lenses that are dirty on the inside.

Well, my first question was.. how did you get lint in there? Blower works pretty fine for dust, and smaller pieces of lint. And check mirror one the camera, it could be some lint there :)

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

I thin the blower may get most of the dust out. As for the lint and it being a 35mm camera the brushes should work. for the price it is cheaper than taking your camera to a pro to clean.

Yes you can use it to remove fine dust from the lens, but you may not require all of them, just one brush would do.

I use a lens cleaner wipe. The same as can be used to clean eye glass lenses. They work really good.

My unit is over 4 years old so instructions may have changed, but page 43 of my operating instruction says lens cleaner RP-CL720PP may be used on this unit. I have never cleaned mine. A search for "DVD Lens Cleaner" should turn up some choices.

There should be a felt like material that is coated with a carbon based powder to help remove smudges and oil from your lenses. From your description of what happened, it sounds like you got a defective one. I don't use the Nikon Lens pen, I only use original Lens Pen brand cleaning pens. You pay extra for the Nikon brand name printed on the side, but the Original lens pen is exactly the same and cheaper to boot.

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.

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!

I would not recommend using this on anything but the lens. To clean the sensor your best bet is to get a Sensor cleaning kit.

I think that you should open the store products and check a kit that have the things that you need because I guess that they can't be removed. The filters are excellent to protect your lenses.

I get this camera pretty dirty, and so I tend to just put the whole camera in the sink and wash it. Once it's washed off I just wipe off the lens. That might not be the best care for the lens, but it seems ok so far.

HiI would not waste my time >>> I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

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.

I take my box appart and clean with lens wipes----like the kind for glasses. Works wonders.

Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you. I bought this adapter few months back so I can use my Spny alpha lenses on my Nikon F mount. It seems you Need to open up on the adapter to allow more light into the sensor. Notice the 7 white dots on the adapter? Try to turn to the darkest dot. However it seems to allow some light leak into the picture and it is not easy to turn it to the dot and stay there. Seems the barrel moves back to white dot so I use slow tap to keep it in place. Rather sloppy.What do you mean by horrible? Do you mean the image looks darker? I hope it helps. Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you.

Hi TD, You can find a very helpful video on youtube called "How to Clean Your DSLR Sensor and Mirror" by user "PhotographersOnUTube". It has detailed instructions on how to properly clean your camera using this cleaning kit. Please read the video comments for additional tips. If you have any doubts, please see an experienced technician for help. Thanks for your question! - Digital Goja

Another thing worth remembering is that lasers and lenses are *analog* devices and dirt or filmy deposits on the lens will definitely degrade performance. Lens-cleaning disks exist though I have no experience with them. Being an electronics technician I have always carefully opened my units (usually out of warranty by the time cleaning is required) and gently and carefully wiped the lenses with a damp q-tip. The improvement in performance (especially audio) is often startling.

The lenses have to be perfectly clean. Any oil, etc., even if not visible, will cause a very visible film to form when you apply the product. Also, an even application is necessary.
