From: whisky-dave on 16 Jul 2010 09:00 Basically the lens on my G10 seems to have attracted some beer/lager drops and stains that seemed to have dried into a smear. I ahven;t noticed any discussions about such things here for quite a while so was wondering if there's any prefered methods or solutions (pun intented) Got me wire wool and bleach ready ;-)

Sometime even a clean hanky and breath. If that wasn't adequate, try warm water (not letting it get into the lends, of course), and if not that /very/ mildly soapy warm water. Modern lens coatings are usually quite robust, but I suspect that not even Canon's would stand the wire wool treatment! <G> David

A lens cloth with a small area dampened should get this cleaned up without causing too much damage. There are also non-alcohol eye-glass lens cleaning fluids for use on non-glass lenses which you could use instead of water to dampen the cloth. -- Regards, Savageduck
