I use UV filters so I never need to clean the front elements but when I first get them used (can't afford new) I blow it off with a blower, then take a slightly dampened with food grade ethanol (95%) cotton swab, bend it at aright angle so I can wipe with the side of it start in the center and clean in a spiral one time, then do the same with the other side of the swab, then a dry swab, repeat as needed.
some streaks remain so I heat up a mug of water until it steams hold the lens over it for a moment then wipe that off in straight lines with a cotton swab.
breathing on the lens adds organics that fungus can feed on (esp if a filter is kept on) that's why I use a mug of water.

I don't think deliveries will stop as long as their are people who will buy things online.

The sensor cleaning mode bought me another couple of weeks then the dust stuck on again.
I have a Koh Global Hepa Jet, it filters the air so it can't blow dust back into the camera.
I've cleaned my sensor and mirror twice so far without having to touch it with anything.

This place it is super friendly, and I've asked some dumb questions.

The fluting also aids in rigidity over a solid barrel of the same weight.

Excellent shot!
It made me remember a sign that was on a no smoking sign at a store I used to go to it said "no puffin" and it had a picture of a smoking puffin.

The most important advice is wear a pithhelmet, otherwise you're not on safari. :D

I was trying to get some good shots of a heron, that didn't work out but I did find some cool looking graffiti.
Taken with SMC-M 28mm 2.8 and Ricoh XR rikenon 35mm 2.8 on tripod.

That's scary I'm glad you're ok.
the strangest thing I've had is if I'm focusing too hard for too long, my eyes will dart left and right a very fast a couple of times on there own.
