Hi, a week ago I took a photo near the salt water on the beach. A few drops got on the lens, so I cleaned it immidiately. When I look at the lens now, I feel like I can see little traces of drops. Does it appear to me or is it true? How should I clean them? Im stressed as f ....

Thank you Guys

Yes, it's salt residue. First blow off the lens with your air blower. Then place a few drops of a quality lens cleaning fluid on a new microfiber cloth and gently swirl clean a few times. Hopefully the spots are gone, then repeat with a different portion of the cloth to remove any cleaning fluid residue. Because there is now salt on the microfiber cloth I would either wash or toss it. Buy a high quality 49mm protection filter like a B&W MRC Nano, Breakthough X4 UV, Leica UV II and always keep it on unless in extreme flare conditions.

Good luck.
