Angellover
I've got a Cannon Sure Shot Owl 115. It is a 35mm camera. When I look through the shutter window (the little window that you look through to focus and capture the object) I have a little white smear on my lens unless it is zoomed to 10x. That is too large for most short range photos. The lens isn't removable. How can I clean that off without damaging my camera? I don't want that smear in my holiday photos, Thanks.
Answer
Hi AngelLover, that Canon sureshot is a great little camera.
Remember that any smear you see thru the viewfinder window is NOT going to show up in your photos.
That smear is simply on the front viewfinder lens. It is the tiny glass lens above the main lens of the camera.
Here is what you do.
In a bright room place the camera on its back on a table.
Look at the front viewfinder lens from different angles until you can see the smear.
If the smear is on the front of the lens it is probably one of two things, either a fingerprint, or possibly some other sticky debris.
Most drugstores, camera shops or big discount stores sell cheap lens cleaning kits for less than $5. They come with a brush, a rubber blower to blow dust off, special tissue paper, and a bottle of cleaner.
First blow any dust off the viewfinder lens. Then brush the lens gently.
Next moisten the special tissue with a drop of fluid. Dab at the lens gently. Wipe dry with another cleaning tissue.
If this does not work, try cleaning the back viewfinder lens.
If the smear is inside the camera, don't worry because it will not show up in your photos.
Cleaning an older camera at a shop is not worthwhile unless you are under warranty.
Best of luck.

Is a 55 mm lens good for a 35mm camera?

Answer
Yes a 55m lens is the normal lens for 35mm (film) camera. However anything from roughly a 45 or 48mm to a 58mm has been on the film cameras of the past. Is this a good lens, depends on you and your shooting style. I came to like a 28mm and an 85 or 90mm lenses and skipped the the 50 or 55mm lens most of the time.
