14. Lens care• Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and
smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened
with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion
from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or
touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might
damage it, result in a fire, or cause health problems.
• To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is available. A lens
hood also helps protect the front of the lens.
• When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear
caps.
• When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool,
dry place to prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct
sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause
it to rust and malfunction.
