Rocket blower + microfiber cloth

A rocket blower and microfiber cloth are the boring little heroes of film camera life—especially on the coast where wind and salt air love your lenses. I keep these in my bag so I can quickly clean up before shooting and not hate myself later.

Pros

+Quickly clears dust and grit from lenses and cameras
+Great to have on windy, sandy coastal shoots

Cons

-Doesn’t replace a deeper clean when gear gets truly messy
