    cleaning camera and bins

    Does it matter what kind of lens cleaner I buy or any that are sold for camera use safe? I also want to buy some lens tissue paper so I don't have to worry about cleaning the re-usable ones or grit sticking on them. Is any brand safe or recommended?

    A beginner needs help...

    The biggest thing is finding an adapter that is easy to use and fairly quick to setup. Without that you will just be frustrated all the time.
