how do you clean your lens?
#1

I don't know if this has been asked here before, but how do you clean your lens? (or filters)
Why do you use this method? Is it cleaner than the others? Faster? More convienient?

For me, I've always been using the LensPen, but recently, it was not recapped properly and the fluid dried out.

Ok Adam,

I cant vote 'cos none of the catagories quite fit.

I always do the same thing:

1/ Blow with rubber bulb blower.
2/ Dust with lens brush
3/ Microfibre cloth
4/ Lens pen.

I rarely get past step 2 though............

I suggest MINIMUM cleaning frequency, but thorough! Wink

I have a lint free cloth for glasses I use. It looks like terry-cloth and is thick, made by 3M. Not like those thin cheap ones.

In the field I just a lens cloth... but when i want to do a thorough job, I use the blower brush, then some special lens cleaning paper (feels like tracing paper)

I brush it lightly with a microfiber cloth. I only clean my aux lens. Th eothe rone is never exposed.
