Lens Cleaner

I'm thinking about buying some Lens Cleaner plus some sort of wipe and I'd like to know what people are using. B&H lists several, and a Google search reveals others. (Search on dgrin yielded nothing specific that I could find).

I never like to touch my lens elements at all, so I usually don't. But somehow I got a smudge on my 17-85...

Any help appreciated! Thanks.
Chris

    I use a microfiber cloth. I think any lens cleaner B&H markets as a lens cleaner (not that anti-fog junk) will be fine. I wouldn't get too worked up about it, myself.

    Does your lens wince or try to escape when you breathe on it?

    I ended up getting "Plasti-Kleen" for Camera, Optical Lenses, and LCDs from OfficeMax. Seems to work fine.

    No but you bring up good point. Always brush and gargle 1st before addressing your lenses. rolleyes1.gif
