    I bought a Nikon 18-200 at xmas time and have become much more concerned with cleaning (i guess mainly because it cost alot of money:)
    I bought a cleaning cloth in a camera shop but I am still nervous using it on the lense. Any suggestions/tips/things to avoid?

    Get a rocket blower or lesn brush to blow/wipe away any grit or suchlike material that may scratch. Then gently rub lens with a wet lens wipe before using the lens cloth to finish cleaning

    buy a pack of rizla ciggarete papers (any colour) and pull out 2 or 3 fold them together with out licking them and keeep glue side away from lense, they work great at picking up bits of dust and loose hairs and such like. enjoy the new lense.
