Default Lens Maintenance
Today as I was trying the water drop technique, I noticed that there were two very small water marks (small circles) on my lens now. Im not too worried about them yet as I don't think they've affected the quality at all. But being so new to photography, I'm just curious, when do you get to the point when you need to clean your lens and what is the best way to do it? I always see other photographers from around the world who photograph in the snow, rain, sand, etc. and they say they don't use a filter or anything, so I'm just wandering how they keep their lens' so clean lol.
