Microfiber vs Lens Tissue

3 years 7 months ago #694560 by Tim Dulaney
One more question for me.  In terms of keeping your glass clean, is there a preference with pros from Microfiber vs Lens Tissue?  

All the same or is one better for cleaning your glass?

It depends of if the frontmost element is a lens or a glass
such a for HQ long lens the like of the 600 mm ƒ4.

Generally speaking, the lens tissue is great to get the most
off your glass using liquid cleaner for ex. The highest grade
of MF I used to finish the procedure to a shine.

Honestly, I have never used lens tissue.  I use microfiber cloths and these work awesome.  Aren't lens tissues a one time use?

They are pretty much like facial tissues in that, one may go
as it is needed.

The two parts strategy, first clean and polish, has the advan-
tage to reduce risk of contamination and take better care for
either front lens and front glass.

Same here, microfiber is all I have used.  I suspect the lens tissue would work just a fine.

The advantage of these tissues is to pick up the worse
while the micro fibre stays cleaner much longer. I don't
see the benefit of having more dirt in your pocket/bag.

Don't think so, but then again I have never used lens tissue.  I have dozens of microfiber cloths around my home and car.  That's what I have always used.

Don't rub your front element with anything dry.  That can result in scratches.  This is the best solution I have found.
