Dust is the nemesis of all photographers. Grit, grime, dirt and even sand can all find their way inside the intricate workings of your camera body or in the optics of your lenses to cause havoc.
While it’s not the sexiest subject around, it’s vital to keep kit clean, and since cameras and lenses can cost a small fortune, it’s only right that we give them the care they deserve to keep them in top condition. This also helps you keep the resale value high and stops those annoying little dust spots appearing in your photos.
