Pretty much what I've been thinking today. Got 3 lenses for 99p on ebay. Need some cleaning, but thinking I might only use one at a push. Starting to have a growing collection of lenses I won't use.

I should do what you're saying, pick a lens and subject and stick to it. What I really need is a cheap old really wide lens.

Well I didn't mean stick with one thing, more pick a subject each week/month and capture it with a different lens each day/week type of thing - exploring the characteristics of each lens as much as expanding or refining your interpretation of whatever you're shooting.

Obviously it also needs interesting enough subject matter to not get bored doing that.

That's what I meant. Go out with a single lens each time and have certain subject types/situations in mind. Especially if its fixed focal length so you have to be more creative and imaginative.

Can you use cleaner for glasses on camera lenses?

I usually use my t-shirt but the front element of my 70-200 is a little grubby and it's not working on it. Maybe it's got good swirly bokeh though :)

Regular eyeglass cleaner is probably fine. I rarely clean my front element unless it's got crap splashed on it.

It's definitely important to clean if it's splashed in crap :D

I tried my glasses cleaner and it's looking much better now.

Unless there's a special coating, I'd say anything that cleans glass is fine.

I'm also guilty of just using my t-shirt, accompanied when necessary by moist breath.

I just got the cheapo canon ef-s 10-18mm lens. Not had a chance to use in anger yet, as it's arrival signalled the end of the dry weather with nice sunsets :(

All modern lenses are coated. Do NOT use Windex or other ammonia-based cleaner.

A handful of moist sand will take off any grunge.

Sand, I hadn't thought about using that. I've got a bag full of the stuff outside. Might be a bit dry with all the sun we've had recently.

Afraid so. Cloudy but still hot and humid up here. Just of my 24mm pancake lens today too, so that's definitely game over for the weather :'D

How big is the image? I think there's a 1MB per-file limit which isn't mentioned and might not show an error message.

Heh, well that'll definitely fail the 5MB post limit.

Assuming tinyjpeg.com works on mobile that's probably the easiest way to shrink it.
