Everyone focus on cleaning the lenses and ignores the fact that dust gets into hinges. How do you clean that out?

i cleaned my old pair of yashika japanese binos inside out , they are all metal body you don't find anymore with these plastic and rubber jobs now a days , removed all 4 prisms and done a thorough cloth and solution wipe and made sure there were no streaks or lint, dust specs etc and cleaned the housing where they sit on from more grime and sand etc its difficult job and cleaned the object lenses inside out as well also hard and had to use new pair of rubber gloves to hold them in order to put them back in the housing without putting more skin oil or streaks on them, as for the ocular lenses from the inside side of the lens i seen they were crystal clean still so i did not bother touching them specially because they are recessed in the body and hard to get to for proper cleaning anyways , still have double vision when looking at stars so i will have to re collimate them by adjusting one of the objective lens by turning and changing its concentric position till i no longer have double vision, could not do it through the prism screw as there were only two of them but could not see there face properly to know what kind of special screw i need

Can I clean Nikon Action Ex binocular ocular & objective lenses? I have Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% concentration. The steps are blowing the dirt off with a bulb air blower, then using penbrush to get excess grit/sand/debris off, soak some lens specific microfiber towel in isopropyl alcohol to get rid of fingerprints and grease then finally wipe of with dry microfiber towel after breathing on the lenses. What do you think?

As an avid outdoorsman I've carried the same are Bushnell-Falcon 7 x 35 binoculars for 33 years now. When, or if they ever need to be replaced, I plan to buy an updated version of the same. theseare Bushnell-Falco binoculars. have served me well.

I just bought some vortex diamondbacks a couple weeks ago. saw some oil and dust. I definitely used my t-shirt, and also pushed pretty hard with the micro-fiber cloth they sent. dang, I wish they included some warnings. did I possibly wipe of some of the coating or scratch it already?

Go to their house and clean them with a microfibre cloth. Very few neighbours have anti-reflective costing, so no need to blow them first with the puffer or use the pen.
@rickmoss70403 жыл бұрын
I just run my Swarovski’s under the faucet, or use a bottle of water, then use a Hurricane puffer bottle, then use a nice, quality micro fiber cloth. I will almost never use chemicals unless absolutely necessary...even ‘optics cleaning’ chemicals....any mid to high end optics will be water/fog proof...and after over 25 years of bow hunting...this has been the most effective and least harsh way to clean my lenses. The water gets off all the crap without rubbing anything that will scratch, into your lenses...the air blower bottle will get the majority of water out/off of the lenses, and the micro fiber gets any water spots off...simple as.

1. Blow off with the Airblower L! 2. If there is eyelash oil on the lens, please carefully clean the lens with ethanol or washing-up liquid and Q-Tips. If necessary, rinse with water beforehand 3. If there are still streaks, breathe on the optics and gently rub dry with the Q-Tips 4. Never rub with a cloth! Unless you want to buy a new glass without hesitation!

I like this guy. His dry nerdy sense of humor is my jam. Keep em coming. Oh hey if I actually read this - I have recently come upon my grandfathers ww2 binocs. They seem to work very well still but there’s a tiny screw or something inside that has come loose. It rattles and can’t possibly be good for them. Can I take them apart? Mechanically I’m good with stuff like this but I have no idea if that’s a bad idea to open them
