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!!!
thanks for the very nice tip
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!
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)
🤌🤌
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
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.
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.
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!
Bro, you just made me so damn happy. Discovered sand particles on the inside of my lens. Def going clean it now.
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 :)
so glad you posted this bud! like ya said, 10 min and my lens is INTERNALLY clean as a whistle! THANK YOU!
Great tutorial! Just cleaned my lens. Took me sometime to put everything back perfectly but now the lens is dust free!
thank you so much! I have been looking for somewhere to get my lens cleaned inside, your tutorial was perfect, my lens is clean, and I am now going to take a million more pictures than when I fell into dirty lens funk.... xx
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
I have the same lense that seems dirty on the inside, was it hard to dissasemble?
This was a very helpful video! Thank you! I managed to clean my lens from the inside and managed to put it back together. It works very well! Thank you so much! :)
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
thank you! i got some dust on the inside of my canon EFS 18-55 shooting storm today and was trying to get it out. thanks to you, i now know what to do!
Great, short, to the point video on how to clean the inside of your lenses. Great job!
Im so happy to watch your videos they are so helpful and clear to do what you explain, and it works.
ALWAYS first use the rocket, if dust is not removed, then use the microfiber or any other "contact" method with the lens.
@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.
@Uriah Sincere It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Enrique Zakai happy to help :)
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!
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!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial .
I am very tempted to give it a go myself .
🦘
Am I the only one holding my breath as you put the lens glass back on? haha.
Excellent. My lens has needed cleaning for a long time. Thanks for this tutorial.
Thank you! You encourage me, I did on my 24-70mm 2.8 and now it’s clean!
Your video is very helpful. I currently have this issue with dust on the inside of my 18-135 Canon Lens.
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.
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. :)
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
What a Great Help...Thank You! Will be cleaning all my lenses tomorrow :)
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
The best Len cleaning tutorial on CZcams
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.
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
And he kept scratching in cercels
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
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Really appreciate these lens videos. Thank you.
Oh MAN !!! This is really great. Thanks man with an awesome name cool guy. I appreciate that work.
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.)
Great stuff, man. Thank you. I have a Tamron that I'm going to be trying this on.
Best lens cleaning tutorial on CZcams!
Thank you
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.
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.
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.
Great job ! Short & to the point. *Thank you !
Thankyou for your tutorial! it really helpful 😁 i hope you have also a video for .. canon 17-40 L lens cleaning tutorial
Hi David, thanks for the helpful tutorial. Does this technique work with prime lenses as well? I have noticed some dust inside my 80mm f1.2 and was thinking about attempting this.
Another helpful tip is to use a head torch, st the right angle you can see even the smallest dust particles.
And a small magnet to stick those little screws
So helpful, thanks a lot for this!
Thank you so much for making this Video David......
Great video David! Thank you.
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.
really thank you, good tutorial, i have 1 small dust partical inside lens where electronics is, soo i cannot do it by my self, but i was ready to do it, but after this video, canon profesional service is better option
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
Thanx very much, I just cleaned fungus on my Canon 24-105 lens
Excellent. Thanks. However, my problem is that I don't know to remove the front part of the black ef 80-200. Can you help at all? Thanks.
Excellent sir. Its very useful for us.
Thanks for the tips mate.
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.
Very helpful saved me a lot of time
Thanks so much, your tutorial save me!
this really inspired me to go and clean my moldy and ancient 24-105. one thing though, the molds in mine look like they are in the back/bottom lens elements when I did the flashlight test and there is only dust on the top. should I take it to the shop if that is the case?
This video helped me, thank you, no dust in my cam lens
Thanks! This worked on my Lumix G Vario lens!
Really nice!!
Would you show the back side lens of cleaning?
Thanks!!
Good job! I love your presentation though I am not kinda professional one
Well done!! Thank you!!
Great video. Thank you. You explaine everything very well. Can you make a video for canon L type lens? I have a Conan powershot Pro 1 and there is a lit of dust inside. Its an old cameras but for my diving photos it's nice. Also i have the case so you can understand why i want to clean it
Thank you, good information.
muchas gracias hermano!!!! saludos desde Chile!
Thank you for the video. It is the same process for the 24-70mm F4 Canon Lens?
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 !
Thank you for this video!!
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
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.
I have the same lens. Two of the screws are stuck tight. Any tips?
Thank you and very helpful
No risk, no fun. Thanks mate! =)
thank you thank you thank you sir my front lens has a chip small and doesn't effect my shots but its annoying to me
What type of solution do you use to clean the camera lens , on the inside or outside of the lens? NIce video
thank u for ur wonderful video, u saved my 150$ service cost, thank u for ur informative video
thank you . excellent !!
Excellent video!!
great video, thanks
Thank man. Appreciate it
How do you clean rear element?
Superb
Do you think it would work the same with Sony starter kit lenses?
I have my Sony 28-70 f3.5 that has this very problem but I'm worried they're designed differently and I end up force opening some parts that aren't really assembled the same way..
Hi, if there was dust on the other element would you still blow it out just like this one
Thanks...my 18+135 canon has particles on the inside zoom end...how dust gets inside a £450:00 lens beats me. Thanks again.
Why does this man know everything I'm going through??
Grazie very interesting
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.
Awesome huge help!!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much . God bless you so much :)
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
Thank you brother
Thank You Sir
THANK YOU!
What about the other side? Do you just clean that from within the barrel when you have the front glass off?
Thanks , your walk thru just saved me spending 800 euro
when you are blowing air on the inner lens. should you not wipe with a micro cloth? should you always just blow air on it?
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
amazing
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
