I have what seems like a little spot on my lens and i don't have a cleaning kit with me, i am in a hotel, so what can i use to clean it?
whats the difference between the sensor and lens??

Answer
Unless it's on the Sensor, you can easily clean the lens with a napkin or a cloth- nothing much can go wrong, it's just the outside of the lens right? If so, yeah, use a Napkin! You don't need a fancy, delicate kit. When it comes to the Sensor, you DO need a fancy, delicate kit.

hi i have a minolta 7000 slr film camera with two lenses one is a 35-200mm and the other is a 70-210mm. so i looked through them in the view finder ( i think that's what it is called) and the 70-210mm lens looks perfect. but the 35-200mm lens looks cloudy and it is hard to see items every thing just looks like it is all blended and it looks darker.

I tried cleaning the whole thing the front and the back optical parts with a lens cleaning kit and it looks perfect physically. but the pictures still look the same

Is there any thing i can do?

Answer
Check the lens. Is there moisture inside? Take the lens off. Can you see through it clearly? Are there dirt or fungi inside? Are there signs the lens coating has come off or peeled? It's an old lens. It's probably time to let go already. If you really want to keep using the camera, you can buy a cheaper replacement at eBay.
