Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they’re a pain to wash.

How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?

    Got a box of alcohol wipes made by Zeiss, specially for cleaning camera lenses and the like. Works great on glasses.

      I bought a box when they were cheap on Amazon.
      Handy for having in your bag. But so much waste. Plastic sachet, plastic cloth, throw it all out.

      I want to find a reusable liquid/cloth solution that works as reliably, but the Zeiss wipes are just too good.

        Hmmm, I think mine are paper materials. I’ll have to look more closely.
