if the camera has the mount get a filter for it so you scratch the filter.
I found the moist lens cleaners made for plastic eyeglass lenses seem to
work pretty well. They look like wet naps!

Hi all.

Having recently purchased a Fuji S5000 I was telling someone how I clean
my lens by breathing on it and wiping it with my hanky to which they
responded with panic!

Am I likely to do any harm, are their coatings really that delicate... is
the damage already done?

Regards,

Paul
