Lens Maintenance

• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.

• When cleaning the fluorine-coated front lens element:

Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a soft,

clean cotton cloth or third-party lens cleaning tissue; clean from the center

outwards using a circular motion.

To remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth lightly dampened

with a small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or third-party lens cleaner.

Drop-shaped marks may form on fluorine-coated surfaces, which are highly

water- and oil-repellent. Such marks can be removed with a dry cloth.

• When cleaning the rear lens element, which is not fluorine-coated:

Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a soft,

clean cotton cloth or third-party lens cleaning tissue lightly dampened with a

small amount of ethanol or third-party lens cleaner; clean from the center

outwards in a circular motion. Be sure to clean evenly and thoroughly without

leaving smears.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

• Neutral Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be used to

protect the front lens element.

• Do not store the lens in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location

to prevent mold and rust.
