So what lengths do you go to to clean your camera when you take it
places a good camera shouldn't go?
If I must go places a good camera shouldn't go, I take the WR-90 and
rinse it off in the kitchen sink when done.
:D
Where shouldn't a good camera go? What do you do if you want better
quality photos than can be had with the WR-90?

Leon,
Are there places a good camera shouldn't go?
If there is, I am not aware of it.
I am definitely not as methodical as you, though I feel that I do clean
my lenses too often - I am probably pressing my luck in terms of
scratching a lens. It is impressive to note how much has to be on a

Not a good idea. Nose grease

It reminds me of the previous exhibit in the Leica Gallery in NYC.
Jackie Brenner shot her Leica in the New Orleans strip club scene.
Did Capa use something like those on D-Day?

Ditto.
Rear lens elements should hardly ever be cleaned. Same with
sensors. Most amateur photographers clean their lenses far more
often than necessary. A little dust on the front of a lens isn't
