    Lens Cleaner
    If you go to any camera store you should be able to buy a lens cleaning kit. I keep one in my camera bag. It's got a blub/brush for blowing and brushing dust off the lens. It also has lens cleaner and lens wipes that won't harm your lens.

    Use the bulb to blow off as much as you can. Then drop one drop of cleaner on the lens and clean the lens with the lens papers. It's as simple as that.

    Ah, I need to find a good camera shop :)
    Locally they sell spray dust-off and microfiber cloths.

    I'm not sure about cloths, because I think it'd be easy to transfer grit on the cloth, I like the disposable lens paper.
    High pressure dust blasters, I think they'll blow the dust about but in the process might that scratch the lens?


    But I'm going to have to look wider afield to find what I want.
    I'm also having trouble finding multi-coated filters to protext the lens front element of the A2 because I'd rather buy a new filter than a new digicam !

    Can't find a local shop. Is there a chain shop, like a franchise for cameras?
