Stubborn grease on lens!!!

Hi All,

Somehow I managed to get a rather greasy fingerprint on my nice camera lens!
I've used a trusted spec-savers cloth to try and remove it, but it just seems to push it around. Don't want to damage the lens, and I fear if I keep rubbing it it's just going to get worse.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Dave

Hi, maybe you could try to take it off with some water maybe : but don't let it seep into the guts of it or the electronics...

Which type of specsavers cloth did you use - the standard one or the one for coated lenses? I find the one for coated lenses very good.
Specsavers also sell a cleaning solution for coated lenses. Perhaps give this a try.

Couldn't tell you which type of cloth it is. Might pop over to Specsavers and have a chat with them.

Not sure about the water suggestion- water is generally not the best substance for tackling grease- have you tried this?

Thanks Guys,
Dave

Water won't do much i'm afraid. Water and oil don't mix.

what ever you do don't use alcahol to try to clean it ..... I did that once with an eye-pice and it is now VERY much broken
