There it is, dust inside of your lens and yo have no idea how it got there. This can be very frustration and if you bring your equipment to the service this might become quite expensive. In this video I explain how you can clean out the dust inside of your canon lens.

  • I didn't read all the comments, but would suggest that after everything is opened up, use the blower before using the cleaning cloth. If the cloth touches the "rock" first and it's rubbed all over the virgin lens, the lens could get scratched. Best to try and blow it away, I would think. Great video - it works!!!
  • @milosphotos
    6 years later and this video is still good! Thank you for teaching me how to clean my lens! I've been worried about paying for a professional cleaning, and now I know how to do it myself!
  • Actually you should do reverse operation. First blow air with the pump and then use the cloth. Oterway if you clean the dust with the cloth you could scratch the glass. Usually i prefert first to remove all the dust whit the pump and then remove any stain with the cloth (sorry for my bad english i am italian)
  • @ChrisLee-UK
    Great video, thank you. Just cleaned my 24-105 after noticing quite a lot of dust inside. Now clean and perfect as it used to be. Thank you David :D
  • I just recently purchased an 85 mm Canon lens that had dust in it so I got a great deal and I just unscrewed it and took it apart cleaned it put it back together again and it’s fantastic! Now I am a better photographer than I was before, LOL
  • @neilyakuza6595
    Man I remember I took apart my 75-300 USM Canon lens to clean out fungus from the tropics. Took everything apart front, and back. Wow lots of fun, and no you tube back in the day to help out. Put everything back together, and everything worked fine. Ask me to do it today, I don not think so....Lol!

    A tip I learned when disassembling my SCT telescope's front corrector plate is to instead of using a dark marker, to actually use one or two tiny strips of masking tape - fixed in an upside down U or L shape, both to the inner bit to be removed and the external one on the tube/lens barrel - and then cut it where both parts join before disassembling it.
  • @kovkou1
    Huge thanks for this help mate! I had a hair under the front lens for quite some time and FINALLY it's out! Again, thanks for this amazing tutorial, it worked like a charm on my Tamron 24-70/2.8 :)
  • @siyuq5620
    Great tutorial! Just cleaned my lens. Took me sometime to put everything back perfectly but now the lens is dust free!
  • @SureshKumar-ez1ew
    Thank you, David. You explained the lens cleaning process so well. Crystal clear (pun unintended!!). I have the same model lens and saw a smudge and got worried if I need to take it to a camera repair shop to get it cleaned but seeing your video, I feel confident I could handle this myself at home.
  • @SandMarcusJ
    Bro, you just made me so damn happy. Discovered sand particles on the inside of my lens. Def going clean it now.
  • This was a very helpful video! Thank you! I managed to clean my lens from the inside and managed to put it back together. It works very well! Thank you so much! :)
  • @pwph8361
    thank you so much! I have been looking for somewhere to get my lens cleaned inside, your tutorial was perfect, my lens is clean, and I am now going to take a million more pictures than when I fell into dirty lens funk.... xx
  • @hexiandsereniti
    Thank you so much for making this video! That annoying little spot in my photos is gone now. You saved me money and lots of others money too! Now I need to know how to replace the damaged curtain in my Canon 70D
  • @andrest2003
    ALWAYS first use the rocket, if dust is not removed, then use the microfiber or any other "contact" method with the lens.
  • @myk4bz
    so glad you posted this bud! like ya said, 10 min and my lens is INTERNALLY clean as a whistle! THANK YOU!
  • @kgw8558
    TY TY TY. I am not mechanically minded at all, but I followed your instructions (after going to a hardware store to get a small enough screwdriver) and felt like I was doing brain surgery but it worked brilliantly. :)
  • @jennifersue5079
