what kind of kits you guys use to clean your lenses/filters?
I use Cokin lens fluid and Kodak lens paper. Has always worked for me!!!!!!MaryisCherry wrote: I need to pick up a quality cleaning kit asap and wanna know what you guys recommend? Got a bunch of smudges all over my filter after only having it the past 2 weeks and figure my lenses could use a really good cleaning as well.
Nothing is Beatleproof!!!!!!!!!
I use a very special optical tissue made for cleaning telescope eyepieces. Besides that, I very rarely clean the front element. I have skylight filters on all my lenses. If one of those gets damaged, I just replace it!!!!!!Stealthy Ninja wrote: ^^ The problem with lens paper is that it's abrasive and can remove lens coatings over time. A modern microfiber cloth (clean) has replaced paper as a less abrasive solution.
