I use Rosco Lens Tissue with cleaner. I book of 100 sheets and fluid is about $10-$15 from places like Videocraft.
Or just any glass cleaning fluid is easy to get from any optometrist, just don't use a no name type glass cleaner. |
Jethro, I was told not to use any fluid when cleaning lenses by a lady at Camera House Parramatta. However I have always thought it is needed on most occasions to remove as much dust as possible. I'll invest in some of the stuff you use.

Your camera 'expert' also told you not to use a filter too Nick.

Generally I stay 'dry' with the Rosco sheets only.
I only use the fluid when cleaning my right camera up after some major work. (I am talking about a broadcast TV camera with a $20 grand of Cannon lens on the front) But I treat my stills the same. With fluid, you use the smallest amount. Here is a couple suppliers web pages: http://www.videocraft.com.au/cat/ind...duct_id=163938 https://www.gettingcreative.com.au/p...roducts_id=239 JH |

Additionally, the better quality filter multicoatings are scratch-resistant and water and dirt repellent. |

Well, blow me down!
I never thought I'd see the day when Martha Stewart Living would get mentioned on this aviation forum:eek::eek::eek: And please Nick, DO NOT EVER LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.....EVER!!!!!!!!! |
And I never thought I'd see the day when a lens cleaning discussion ran to three pages of posts . . . . .
There is no right or wrong answer where the use of protective filter is concerned. More a case of personal preference and risk assessment. And as these messages prove, the pros are as much divided on the issue as us mere amateurs. |
