2015-06-14
if you're huffing on your camera lens and smearing it with your shirt you're doing it all wrong there's actually nothing wrong with breathing on your lens the problem comes when you clean it when you use a t-shirt to wipe your lens clean anything but 100% cotton can create micro scratches and streaks that only make your lens grimy er the fact is you're probably cleaning your lens more than you should little specks of dust won't affect your photos so resist the urge to clean until it's absolutely necessary when you need to clean your lens do this first use a microfiber cloth lens tissue or lens pen to wipe away any dust or smudges if that doesn't help add a drop or two of lens cleaning solution to the cloth and if you're really dying to get rid of dust use a blower brush not your mouth and now you're doing it right
