Lens cleaning....

[Hawkpuppy 1]

Anyone know where I can get my lenses cleaned on the inside? Seem to have dirt/dust/particulates in two of them and it is not something I can clean from the outside. Anyone know where to send them to have them professionally cleaned out? Prices to expect?

More than likely it isn't your lenses that have dust in them it is your sensor.
I would take your actualy camera body in to get cleaned.

yeah, probably shouldnt have dust inside lense. if so you may need a new one cause its cracked somewhere

Zoom lenses that extend back and forth can get dust inside. You can probably send them back to the manufacturer's warranty repair place to have them cleaned. I don't imagine they'll do it for free as a warranty issue, but it probably wouldn't cost too much.

Shane makes a good point, completely forgot about zoom lenses.

I have read where a small amount of dust inside a lens will not make a bit of difference in your photos. It would drive me crazy though!

Go snag a ROCKET BLOWER and give that a shot first.

The sell them at B&H...pretty reasonable and the exhaust doesn't inhale....just like Bill Clinton

If you have spots on your photos, you have dust on your sensor. Dust in/on your lens will not show up in your pics. Get the Rocket Blower like Rob suggested and clean the inside of your camera.
