Indecent Exposure 44: Informed expenditures

One take on the state of photography education, dissing the idea of lens disassembly, and going mano-a-mano with monochrome.

Lori Grunin Senior Editor / Advice
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Today's question
Lens cleaning

I was wondering about how to clean a lens. I have a 35-80mm kit zoom lens that is several years old (bought in '92) and it has some dust on the inside of the lens. Is it worth to have it cleaned by Canon or is it possibly by a third party or my self to clean it? I only ask as I had dropped a 50mm fixed lens (popped apart) and was able to get it back in one piece and has worked fine since. Is a zoom much different? Or is the money better to be put into an other lens.
