Salt water residue on lens

[JasonMX]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was just taking pictures of the ocean and got small specks of white salt water residue on my lens. I tried using my microfilm cloth (VERY lightly with no pressure) to wipe them off but they are stuck.

I would like to get these off so they don't effect pictures. I was thinking of taking it to Ritz camera tommorow to see if they can help. Does anyone have any ideas or tips? I want to make sure they lense does not scratch.

Someone suggested using alchohol or lens cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Also, does this happen alot to people? How can I avoid this in the future. Is it alright to wait until tommorow to remove these?

I am getting nervous as you can tell. I am a beginner and on vacation right now on Cape Cod an want to take pictures the rest of the week.

Water got it on there, water can remove it. Just use a damp cloth. Then clean with a lens cleaner. As far as protection goes, use a uv or sky filter.
