hairspray on lense

SalthillHead · 2010-01-28 16:01:07

Hairpsray got on my lense during a shoot (should have had the protective filter on it, I know). There are now speckles on the lense and they show up whenever I shoot towards the sun ie evening shot etc. They won't rub off. Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the lense any further. thanks.

just try first with a damp soft cloth

I was once told (and i'd love to find to hear other people opinions) that your salivia with a proper microfibe cloth is one of the best things you can you can use to clean your lens.
...I've yet to try it!

Blow on it (haw) and rub it off, I had some on one of mine and it shifted.

You can get camera lens alcohol wipes in most camera shops, always handy to have in your bag., I got a load of Carl Zeiss ones from that camera shop in talbot street, think its called Halls.,
