Zeiss Microfiber Lens Cloth Jumbo (large lens cloth)

Tonight we’ll learn about all the methods to care for your camera, lenses, and tripod, and other bits that go with it. (FYI, Robert had a conflict so we had to push his talk to September.)

We’ll learn how to minimize potential issues, and what accessories can help.

We’ll learn which tools can be helpful to properly clean your camera, lenses, and tripod.

I’ll be showing you a few videos from Nick Page and Peter McKinnon, videos that have helped me learn how to do everything!

Then I’ll let you all practice cleaning a real sensor on my old Olympus. So you can get a feel for how easy it really is to clean your own sensor.

I hope to see you all there!
