nikon camera lens cleaner image
JD
I just bought a box of random items at a sale and inside was a vintage 80s Nikon camera flash and lens. The flash is a Sunpak auto30DX Thyristror. I currently do not have a camera that this will work with. I put batteries in the compartment but was not able to get any of the lights to turn on and the ready/test button did not do anything. Does this flash need to be attached to a camera for it to work?
Answer
A flash unit should work by itself and the one you describe definitely would if it's good. Check that the batteries are correctly installed (there's usually a diagram on the inside of the battery compartment to help you insert them right). Take the trouble of cleaning the battery contacts; corrosion or grime is not always very visible. You may need a bit of steel wool or very fine sandpaper to help with this. When switched on, you should hear a whistling sound and after a few seconds the ready/test button should light up. When you depress it, the flash should fire. If none of this happens after you do everything else right, the unit is not working. Cheers.

Can I use eye glasses cleaner on dSLR lenses?

I have a pretty generic bottle that I got for free with my eye glasses for cleaning the lenses. Can I use that on my Nikon camera lens for my dSLR camera? Or do I HAVE TO buy a cleaning solution specific for camera lenses?
Answer
I agree with Edwin- you shouldn't have to use one if you have a good lens cloth. However, I have had to use a solution once or twice on my filters because of city grime- I had a build-up of oils that just wasn't coming clean. I used my own cheap eyeglass solution and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend using it directly on your lens though, just on the filters (since they are much cheaper to replace if you muck 'em up:)
Definitely have some kind of UV filter to protect your lens element. Absolutely a must.
