Lens care
●
Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft,
clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.
Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or
touch other parts of the lens.
●
Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a fire,
or cause health problems.
●
To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is recommended at all times. A lens
hood also helps protect the front of the lens.
●
When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
