Thank you but I am not going to clean my lense with air duster. Common sense shows that it will leave a moist place on your lense. Just like when you drop your phone in water, you won't be able to get it all out so you mid-as-well throw it away unless your going to take it all apart!

I recommend staying away from using a can of compressed air to clean the lens, it can leave a small amount of condensation on the lens and that's no good!
