I didn't read all the comments, but would suggest that after everything is opened up, use the blower before using the cleaning cloth. If the cloth touches the "rock" first and it's rubbed all over the virgin lens, the lens could get scratched. Best to try and blow it away, I would think. Great video - it works!!!

@kasunshashi 3 месяца назад

thanks for the very nice tip

@brydon-halohunter 7 месяцев назад

6 years later and this video is still good! Thank you for teaching me how to clean my lens! I've been worried about paying for a professional cleaning, and now I know how to do it myself!

@mrbob581 Месяц назад

Not rocket science but jewler type work.. with the right tools and fine touch and an idea what to do .

@saverioforte9861 4 года назад

Actually you should do reverse operation. First blow air with the pump and then use the cloth. Oterway if you clean the dust with the cloth you could scratch the glass. Usually i prefert first to remove all the dust whit the pump and then remove any stain with the cloth (sorry for my bad english i am italian)

@3-lias 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much for sharing this. I was really afraid of opening up my lens in order to properly clean it, even though I had to. Now I can just go ahead and clean them all!

@kgw8558 3 месяца назад

TY TY TY. I am not mechanically minded at all, but I followed your instructions (after going to a hardware store to get a small enough screwdriver) and felt like I was doing brain surgery but it worked brilliantly. :)

@andrefelixstudio2833 3 года назад

I just recently purchased an 85 mm Canon lens that had dust in it so I got a great deal and I just unscrewed it and took it apart cleaned it put it back together again and it’s fantastic! Now I am a better photographer than I was before, LOL

@znaskoejakov331 2 года назад

I have the same lense that seems dirty on the inside, was it hard to dissasemble?

@scott-ish404 3 года назад

A tip I learned when disassembling my SCT telescope's front corrector plate is to instead of using a dark marker, to actually use one or two tiny strips of masking tape - fixed in an upside down U or L shape, both to the inner bit to be removed and the external one on the tube/lens barrel - and then cut it where both parts join before disassembling it.

@neilyakuza6595 5 лет назад

Man I remember I took apart my 75-300 USM Canon lens to clean out fungus from the tropics. Took everything apart front, and back. Wow lots of fun, and no you tube back in the day to help out. Put everything back together, and everything worked fine. Ask me to do it today, I don not think so....Lol!

@ChrisLee-UK 4 года назад

Great video, thank you. Just cleaned my 24-105 after noticing quite a lot of dust inside. Now clean and perfect as it used to be. Thank you David :D

@SandMarcusJ 4 года назад

Bro, you just made me so damn happy. Discovered sand particles on the inside of my lens. Def going clean it now.

@siyuq5620 2 года назад

Great tutorial! Just cleaned my lens. Took me sometime to put everything back perfectly but now the lens is dust free!

@hexiandsereniti 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making this video! That annoying little spot in my photos is gone now. You saved me money and lots of others money too! Now I need to know how to replace the damaged curtain in my Canon 70D

@paulc9139 2 года назад

You saved me a lot of money, I cleaned the dust out of my canon lens, 15 minutes for me, the repair shop wanted £90.00p to do the same job, good on you, and thank you for the lesson & the saving.

The best Len cleaning tutorial on RU-vid

@mikeries8549 4 года назад

Have a new camera with dust inside the lens. It's only two weeks old. The house is dusty. The pictures aren't affected so I'll keep shooting but eventually will take it apart. The lens looks just like my telescope lens but my scope is a doublet. I suspect that there's a stack of lenses in that little plastic holder just like the telescope so be careful. Drop one and you're effed.

@andrest2003 4 года назад

ALWAYS first use the rocket, if dust is not removed, then use the microfiber or any other "contact" method with the lens.

@enriquezakai7612 3 года назад

@Uriah Sincere I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@AbdullaHussain1 3 года назад

Am I the only one holding my breath as you put the lens glass back on? haha.

@SureshKumar-ez1ew Год назад

Thank you, David. You explained the lens cleaning process so well. Crystal clear (pun unintended!!). I have the same model lens and saw a smudge and got worried if I need to take it to a camera repair shop to get it cleaned but seeing your video, I feel confident I could handle this myself at home.

@myk4bz 2 года назад

so glad you posted this bud! like ya said, 10 min and my lens is INTERNALLY clean as a whistle! THANK YOU!

@kovkou1 6 лет назад

Huge thanks for this help mate! I had a hair under the front lens for quite some time and FINALLY it's out! Again, thanks for this amazing tutorial, it worked like a charm on my Tamron 24-70/2.8 :)

@Sektor71 9 месяцев назад

Great tutorial! I was actually able to clean 2 of my most used lenses. One had fungus and the other a lot dust in there. Thanks man!

@DC-sn6mt 4 года назад

First thing after you get the lenses out BLOW THE DUST AWAY WITH AIR DO NOT WIPE AS THIS IS HOW YOU SCRATCH THE LENSES,leave the wiping after blowing the dust away

@MustafaExplore 3 года назад

And he kept scratching in cercels

@geisterglow4857 8 месяцев назад

i think you shouldn' worry about the Canon engineers' opinion. i feel i got all the precious information i need. thank you very much, i think you do the job like a pro.

@historytaolana6171 Год назад

Im so happy to watch your videos they are so helpful and clear to do what you explain, and it works.

@JuanLopezmusica Год назад

Thank you! You encourage me, I did on my 24-70mm 2.8 and now it’s clean!

@raficknaseeven1352 Год назад

My Friend. You saved my day. ❤. My first L lens developed a small ring inside the front glass. It was well kept in the leather bag and I got a shock on seeing the spot. Circular ring spot. Thanks a lot. I now know how to access it. Great. I subscribe to your post right away

@greg3511 2 года назад

Excellent. My lens has needed cleaning for a long time. Thanks for this tutorial.

@CryptidHunter_official 5 лет назад

Best lens cleaning tutorial on RU-vid! Thank you

@63phillip Год назад

You should use the air rocket before the lens cloth as there may be debris on the lens that you will scratch the lens with.

@jeandesrosiers5275 8 месяцев назад

If you have an old casette tape eraser, you can use it to magnetize (or de-magnetize) your screwdriver tips, then the screws don't fall and stick to the screwdriver. To magnetize, put the screwdriver tip against the part where you would lay on top of a casette, a short burst of magnetism and presto, magnetized tip. To de-magnetize, turn on the demagnetizer, bring it to the screwdriver and pull away while it it still on.

@rogerroddy5828 2 года назад

Great, short, to the point video on how to clean the inside of your lenses. Great job!

@dalehammond1749 Год назад

Very clear video. I have a Canon 8mm movie camera with fog inside the lens. I sure hope it isn't deep into the lens. Now I have to locate a quality magnetic mini screwdriver. Thanks

@GeoffreyCapes 6 лет назад

Another helpful tip is to use a head torch, st the right angle you can see even the smallest dust particles.

@mlmrv1060 3 года назад

And a small magnet to stick those little screws

@cecif9419 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I don’t have a camera shop in my town! I want to try to clean my lens instead of driving an hour away !

@susanleadbetter8639 3 года назад

Thank you for this....especially the last part about the back of the lens, as that is the part that is very dirty. Haven't used my Canon A1 for many years. Need to take it to a professional

@christinaholzschuh8034 5 лет назад

What a Great Help...Thank You! Will be cleaning all my lenses tomorrow :)

@kianacotton9 5 лет назад

left my canon t5i in the pouring rain sheltered by nothing but a fanny pack. blew my mind to see the camera still turns on but my lense are fogged up. i was afraid to shock the camera (wet wiring & energy transferred from battery) by turning it on right away so i let it sit by a sunny window for a few days when i came back i checked the battery comp to make sure it had dried and it did. i think the moisture and sun caused the insides to fog so like you said. ill be doing this tomorrow

Thank you very much for this video. I was able to clean the inside of my canon 18 - 135 mm lens … I have used a precession screw set that helped me a lot

@JMarciii Год назад

18-135mm USM ? I have the same lens with a lot of inside dust on the front. I am thinking about cleaning it myself, it seems very easy to do.

@peacefulnaturesoul Год назад

I have the same lens. Two of the screws are stuck tight. Any tips?

@lorameek31 2 года назад

Thank you! Getting the tools I need to do this to my Fuji lens. I have a long hair stuck inside and dust. It was a used lens when I got it.

@ResponsiblePledge Год назад

Canon just told me $642 to do this, its sickening to me that they charge that much. Thanks for the video. I have an older EF 24-105 with dust inside, and its not worth sending out, but the lens is totally great after this video

@Sriparthasarathyadvocate 3 года назад

thank u for ur wonderful video, u saved my 150$ service cost, thank u for ur informative video

@davisbeauvais6965 Год назад

I think its best to use AIR first, the a gentle BRUSH, then if you still need the cloth use it last.

@dianecasey9820 4 года назад

This has been so very helpful,however my lens has three screws on the outside, on the side rather than under the little ring. after taking them out do you think it would be the same? (As far as the one piece lens coming out.)

@johnwebsterwallace4884 5 лет назад

Thanks...my 18+135 canon has particles on the inside zoom end...how dust gets inside a £450:00 lens beats me. Thanks again.

@sonyp180 3 года назад

I used one of them rocket air blowers once on a lens. Load of oil or sticky glue came out. Lucky i was about to use on sensor. CHECK ON A WALL MIRROR 1ST

@davytyler 4 года назад

i went on top of a mountain yesterday and my lens fogged up INSIDE of the lens body, so I'm going to give this a shot. I did already try silica packets in a plastic back for a day. it hasn't worked. Thanks for the guide.

@mikeries8549 4 года назад

I think I'd set the foggy lens on a furnace vent so it could warm up and let the steam out. My binoculars go thru pretty wet conditions waterfowl hunting and it works for them.

@vacuumandgaspressurecoexisting Год назад

Might do it when i feel brave enough. I had to return a rf 24-70 2.8 because it has a rather large speck of dust brand new and now the one i got as a replacement has gotten a piece of dust in it as well.. not as dramatic as the first, but still.. makes me lose confidence in buying l glass.

How do you clean rear element?

@lis6502 2 года назад

06:07 FIRST wipe down with cloth and THEN blow with rocket blower? Not the other way around? i think that dust can be abrasive, so i'd start with trying to blow as much as possible, then maybye brush out rest and saved cloth as last resort solution.

@greatbaracuda6164 Год назад

when putting back the circle cover will the glue still sticky enough? do you glue it again? what kind of glue? Can you also dry wipe if glass is full of fungus? i afraid that soap or any solvent might damage the special coating

@mtbboy1993 5 месяцев назад

It recently happen on SONY 24-70 GM II, it was second hand from a dealer, was no dust in lens, was like new. I made sure when I got it, checked it. Only used it a few times, now there's dust inside, just one dust grain. Not sure how it got inside. Only had it around 2 weeks I think.
