Thanks for all the tip on camera cleaning. Just to show you I have been paying attention in class . I was on a trip last week and I saw a woman putting hand lotion all over her hands and face and then picking up her Cannon EOS A2 . I casually mention to her that was not a very good Idea. As I can see from here the lotions going all over the camera and the body of the lens.
She tells me her camera is not working well and all the images are fuzy and out of focus. I look at the camera and the view finder / eye piece has like 30 + dusty thumb prints on it and the lens was 2 times as bad. ( She has a camera bag shaped like a camera with a lens on it and when she pulls the camera out her thumb ends up on the eye piece most of the time ) I clean it up for her and make her promise to not touch them any more. One other thing I noticed was when she shoots a image one of her fingers ends up covering the sensor about 1/2 way. So I give a quick lesson in holding her camera a better way .
