* the cover - let's me see better if there's any dirt left on the glass. i t just passes some light from behind making glass marks more visible* no camera side cleaning--simple reason, it didn't require cleaning :) the glass was perfectly OK, just a couple of blows to remove dust* don't worry about some dust inside the lens. it's a common thing for a lens to collect dust, even if it's sealed. just make sure the outer surfases are clean (especially the rear lens)

Explain that translucent end cover vs. the regular end cap for the lens.Also, you didn't do much cleaning on the camera side of the lens, is this for a reason? Also, I'm wondering if its dust or something wrong with a lens I just bought. I look into it and see the dust more so that I thought I would. Haven't tried cleaning it, but how can you tell if the particles are inside or on the outside parts of the lens when inspecting visually through the lens?

All my books say to never touch a lens with paper. Even the "best" lens paper can scratch, especially if there is a piece of abrasive dirt or dust stuck to the lens.Zeiss and Leica agree. Proceed at your own risk.

How about sticky stuff for lens cleaning?Good, clean "blue tack" will lift oil film from surfaces and tack up the dust even better, plus: no rubbing, no liquids. But it must be clean, good, fresh putty. It will lift even synthetic motor oil from a surface (very hard to remove that stuff otherwise). I use blue tack for critical cleaning. Masking tape can also serve.

Cutting the lens paper creates more trouble in cleaning due to the fibers will stick to the lens. Is that why he's using a blower after wiping with a 'cut' piece? Fiber cloth is better nowadays.

Slightly moisture your tissue is good enough.Don;t empty the bottle on a single piece of tissue:D

Should I use the paper only with the chemical or cleaning the glass with a dry scrap of paper will do? I've heard that only when it's a little wet it can be used.
