Please let me know if I have to go to Olympus to get my lens cleaned.

My Pentax lens has water in between the two lenses that I can not get dry. Any suggestions by anyone would be appreciated. The flood has already cost me $40,000 so any suggestions would help. Or if you know of a cheap place to get it fixed. I have 3 camera lenses that were submerged in water during the recent flood in GA.

This way, one will just scratch/damage $15 worth of equipment instead of a couple of hundred (or more). It is absolutely critical to have a skylight filter on all of one’s lenses at all times!

Quality camera lenses are much more delicate and easier to damage than the tough glass or plastic your reading glasses are made from.

Touch your lens as little as possible. And never wash and re-use a lens cleaning cloth, if the cloth gets dirty or starts to smear or streak the lens, throw it away and buy a new cloth.

They don't cost very much. The kit will have a soft little brush for brushing away dirt or sand, a no-scratch no-fuzz lens cleaning cloth, and special lens cleaning fluid. Be sure you follow the directions that come with your camera, or at least the ones that come with the kit. If you have a really good camera and you want to take care of it, get a lens cleaning kit.

Wet a q-tip with the same solution you use to clean eyeglasses and clean the recessed lens with it. Make sure you swipe the q-tip over the ridges that surround the lens too, they collect a lot of dust.
