hey everybody, yes yes it is me Brea, i have risen from the dead. sorry bout that, for those of you who dont know im a long time lurker, not a big poster. anyway... back to the question (o ya im not sure what place this goes in, so you can move it if its worng, i guessed my best.)

Anyway!
What does everybody out there use to clean their screen?
I found that a little piece of soft flannel works pretty well, but not the best sometimes, wondering if theres a better thing to use. please tell of your wonderful tricks. How do you clean your screen?

im off to catch up on some photography ive missed over the last while, i see the site is a little different, im excited.
Thanks,
Brea

    My thumb. On my last camera, I applied those clear Palm sticky covers. Worked alright, except that with use, one corner would start to peel up. I keep meaning to put one on the new camera.

    i never used to put screen protecters on my lcd screens. but i do now, becuase someone who bought a camera from me beefed aboout a tiny scratch on the lcd... sooooooo i put the palm screen protectors on my 1Ds Mark II screen, all happy now :D

    Like Andy, I put a screen protector on the cameras LCD screen. Both for protection, but also for the glare reduction and the fact that I can wipe it off with my finger to clean it. If a lot of oil builds up on it, then like the other I use a handy piece of shirt or tie to clean it.

    This is what I use on any glass or plastic surface (glasses, laptop screen, camera, lenses etc.) Seems to work great.
