Hello Friends,
Has anyone ever found it necessary to clean the AF contacts on their equipment. If so, how did you go about doing it? what did you use? anything you should not use?

I am just curious about this. I thought it might be a good idea to find out if there is a right and wrong way to do this, or even a need to do it at all.

Thanks.

I have not had to clean mine, but I am careful not to touch them. Most people use a standard pencil eraser to clean the contacts.

Pencil eraer is the way to clean most electrical contacts.
