Lens cleaning

Any suggestions for good lens cleaner

 

I like the See Clear lens cleaning tissues. The come individually packaged
an are single use they are made for plastic or glass lenses and always seem
to clean well and don't scratch

The best lens cleaner is clean dry air. Like from a ear syringe.

Next would include a clean soft brush (camel hair is suggested) or the
torn edge of a fresh lens issue used as a brush.

Following that would be a genital breath to dampen the lens followed by
a clean lens tissue. Note: many people like the microfiber cloths, but I
don't like them because the are seldom going to stay really clean and one
hard particle can cause damage.

Last would be the use of a commercial lens cleaning fluid and lens
tissue.

At all times it is best to use the least aggressive tool for the job.
Over the years I was in photo retail, I saw more lenses damaged by cleaning,
than by other causes. Only clean if the lens really needs cleaning. Most
of the time they don't.

 

When you say 'damp', are you referring to a wet fart, or some other
kind of genital breath?

Maybe that uncorrected advice can be used for one type of photography.
