Optics Care

Optical care - keep your equipment in good condition


Every photographer knows the everyday signs of use on the camera. To avoid permanent marks and damage, it is important to know how to clean your equipment properly. So a cleaning kit belongs in every photo bag. In it you will find everything you need to clean your camera quickly and safely. This is a good way to remove raindrops and fingerprints from the lens surface. But the camera display can also be cleaned. Most sets include a lens brush, a cleaning cloth and a cleaning fluid just in case.

Careful camera care

Every camera needs to be protected and cared for, for example with the help of a lens brush. There are various models on the market. Another option is the bellows, which cleans your camera very gently. It emits a small breeze that removes dust and crumbs without scratching, as there is never any contact between the camera and the bellows. With this instrument you can not only clean your camera lenses well, but also eyepieces. It also achieves an optimal blowing effect through a valve system. The bellows is very environmentally friendly because no chemicals are used. Also, the cleaning is done without a liquid. This is the focus of many photographers. However, a bellows will not properly remove coarse dirt from the camera. In this case, a different lens brush must be used. Here, two work steps have been integrated into one. This is an advantage of this product. This brush guard guarantees that the hairs do not get dirty. The design is compact and can be easily stowed in any photo bag. Here you can remove large impurities without any problems. Another positive aspect is that the brush is very soft. This allows you to reach hard-to-reach areas on the lens. Another cleaning option is the cleaning pen, whose soft brush is retractable, which is particularly good for removing fingerprints.

Special cloths for cleaning cameras, lenses and other equipment

If you prefer to use cloths for cleaning your equipment, microfibre cloths with grey card functions are recommended. These come in a dustproof and resealable storage bag. This is an excellent way to clean your camera. These cloths are also perfect for cleaning lenses. But they can also be used for other electronic devices. This cloth is very fine and cleans excellently. This is all done without rubbing or applying any other pressure.

Sharp pictures after a thorough cleaning

A camera is often susceptible to dust and other dirt. Here, the zoom and the housing are particularly affected. If grains of sand get into the cracks of the lenses, it can damage the camera. You should prevent this at all costs. If the dirt settles on the front lens of the lens, this will result in poor picture quality. You can remove dirt wonderfully with an optical paper. This is available in different sizes. However, you should use paper without silicone. The plus point is that this is a product that can be used quickly. There is no lint on the lens.

Indispensable for professionals and those who want to become professionals

You want to achieve maximum image quality with your camera? Then you need a clean lens. That is why lens care is indispensable. Every photographer can do this cleaning himself. There are various products available in the trade for this purpose. You can use a lens brush, but also a microfibre cloth or optical paper. In our shop you will find a wide range of cleaning products and accessories to keep your cameras in perfect condition at all times.
