Lens/filter cleaning?
Whats best to use for this?
Don't fancy the 'bit of paper on end of metal stick' method that appeared quite recently here.

For filters and lenses though, all I've ever done is breathe on them and polish gently with a soft cloth which is all the manufacturers usually recommend. You can buy proprietory lens cleaning solutions which should first be applied to a cloth and then to the lens - not used directly on the lens as they can strip the lens coating. I've never felt the need though to use these solutions. |

I use the blower brush and either a cleaning cloth I got from PP a while ago or some of the jessops tissues. The lens cleaning pens are supposed to be very good too.

I use the OptiWisch Microfasertucher (2 of), for mine.
Had to have it hand imported from Germany though. Works a treat, and dirt cheap too. |
