Help before I take my camera in for service

I know this won't help but one trip me and my wife were on , she started taking pictures and they were blurry and out of focus and basically crappy i was messing with all the settings ... couldn't figure it out figured it was shot... turned the camera over and her sunscreen fingerprints where all over the lens ... had a good laugh cleaned the camera then it was all good

Good call Craig. I guess the years added up to a dirty lens that even a cloth wouldn't clean.
I made a solution in a shooter glass. 3/4 99% Isopropanol, 1/4 warm water and 2 drops dish soap. Swirl to mix. Used a cotton swab to gently rub in a circular motion, then a new swab to polish while it evaporated.
Not 100% yet but the focus is damn close.
I'll go at it some more when my injury gets better.
Thanks Bud

Didn't look dirty 'till I started wiping it
