I got some babypower on my lens and it turned out a bit fuzzy is there ANYWAY I CAN HELP ITTT???
Answer
Clean the baby powder off the lens. Youll have to be very careful because the baby powder may scuff the lens.
Blow off as much as you can. Carefully use a can of compressed air. Your breath or a blower bulb wont be enough.
Wet a lens tissue with lens cleaning fluid and soak up the remaining powder. Dont rub it just dab it. Smearing the powder around is what may scuff the lens.
For safety to prevent lens damage you might want to take it to a shop for professional cleaning.

The functions of saliva:
Lubrication
Protection against drying
Thins and dilutes food for swallowing
Anti acid function, buffers and neutralises acids, particularly important when there are acids of bacterial origin present
Taste
Irrigation - debris and bacteria
taste buds
Bacteriostatic action on endogenous bacteria
Bacteriolytic action on exogenous bacteria
Digestive
Reduction of clotting time
The major components of saliva:
Histatins
Statherins
Lysozyme
Proline-rich proteins
Carbonic anhydrases
Amylases
Peroxidases
Lactoferrin
Mucin 2
SlgA
Mucin 1
I donât see tialine listed and my search found no info on tialine. Even if it is what 120 says youre not trying to digest fungus and bacteria on your lens.
Its true our Creator gave us both saliva and tears but notice he didnât put saliva in our eyes or tears in our mouths. They are two different fluids with two different purposes. I done see âcleaningâ in any of the functions of saliva. Tears are a good lubricant for your eyes. Next time you change your motor oil would you fill the crankcase with tears?
Saliva doesnât evaporate quickly as cleaning fluid does and this could make cleaning more difficult. Toilet paper isnât lint free so you may end up with paper fibers all over your lens.
Ive used cleaning fluid and lens tissue on coated lenses for over twenty years and never harmed a lens. There are other suitable methods I just happen to be satisfied with mine. I donât care how long 120 has been a camera repair student. Im not switching to saliva and toilet paper for my lenses. Youre of course absolutely free to do so if you wish. I bet if you contact your camera manufacturer they wont recommend the saliva and toilet paper method either.

Cleaning a camera lens?
Kristi H
I have a nikon D50 slr with the attachable lens. I lost the lens cap a few months back and haven't had the chance to get another one. I keep it as locked away as possible. But stuff gets all over it. What can I do to clean it?
Answer
Camera lenses have "anti-reflection" coatings on the surfaces which are very vulnerable to scratching. So what ever you do never not wipe a dry lens with anything.
Pick up a small bottle of lens cleaner and "lens tissue" from any camera store. (DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE.) Also pick up a small lens brush. It comes attached to a small rubber-like bulb that you squeeze to blow a puff of air over the lens. Use the brush to LIGHTLY remove any remaining particles. Then put a few drops of the cleaning liquid on the lens. Take a lens tissue and fold it into a small square (about 1 inch). Use the tissue to draw the liquid over the surface of the lens working from the center to the edge. You might have to repeat several times to get the lens completely clean.
I wouldn't put plastic wrap over the lens. It will "outgas" leaving a hard to remove film residue on the lens. Every time you clean the lens you risk damaging the surface.
Finally, for a few bucks, buy a new lens cap.
