A bird had made a very large deposit on my up turned lens. >I rushed inside and carefully wiped the deposit off the lens with a paper >towel and then cleaned the front element with a Q Tip and lens cleaning >fluid I used a tooth brush to clean out the barrel of the lens. >The glass looks fine, but there is a slight grating sound when I focus, but >everything looks ok. >Maybe there is something to be said for a UV filter after all > > >Ken >Oakville Ontario > > >
