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
●
En
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.
●
When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to
●
prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as
camphor or naphthalene.
Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and
●
malfunction.
Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never
●
leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
