How do you safely clean the focusing screen. I got a spot on mine and (it doesn't show on the pictures) and I'm not sure how to clean it.
Any ideas and/or cleaning kit suggestions would be appreciated.

It's much easier to blow a spot off the mirror with a puff of air than it is to remove and clean the focus screen. Andy Brown; South-east England. Canon, Sigma, Leica, Zeiss all on Canon DSLRs.

My camera store did it for me for free when i purchased something from them otherwise they won't charge very much for that service
