Making Your Own Lens Swab

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Cleaning your camera can be a difficult feat but cleaning it is important. However, cameras are very sensitive gadgets and without enough knowledge on how to clean your camera you might end up voiding your manufacturer’s warranty. Now that is something we wouldn’t want any photography enthusiast to experience.

When cleaning your own camera, it is advised to build or make your own swab. If you have a Fuji camera or one from Kodak, do not worry because you can just get Eclipse or PecPads to clean the sensors. For those who own Nikon, Pentax, Sigma or Canon cameras, the cleaning is covered by warranty just make sure that the products you are using are recommended for your lenses.

Now for the swab –you have to remember that doing this is at your own risk and should do it only if you want to save some money on the cleaning. The very first thing to consider when making a swab for your lenses is what material you will use. Whatever material you use in the inside, you should wrap the whole thing or at least the swab with a Pec Pad. You can also use lens tissue if you want to save more money but getting the best of the best when it comes to lens tissue is recommended. Now back to the materials, you can choose from wood, rubber, and plastic. The best choice among the three is rubber followed by wood and then plastic.

But where do you get this material? Go to the kitchen section and get a spatula. Most spatulas are made out of rubber. Just cut the sides so you have the right size for your swab. When you are done just cover it with lens tissue and voila you have a lens swab!
