While we are on the subject...cleaning. How do you clean your lens...what do you use...I have a variety of things that I do and use. But no " magic" combination per say. I have a "special" cloth (microfiber) that I try to use but it leaves so much lint on the lens...I usually just breathe on the lens (fog it up) and use a soft linen cloth that seems to wk best. I'm wondering about using a glass cleaner of some sort and what kind of cloth you use?

I use a sensor cleaning kit for my sensor (haven't used on my new D7000 yet) it works like a charm. (When I cleaned my D80)


Just go grab these, you'll be good for a year or two, and they work for tons of other things too.

ETA: The trick with these is to buff the lens until the cloth dries - that way it won't leave even the faintest of streaks.


I have used windex..(don't whip me) and the eyeglass cleaner wipes from Costco but I was worried that it would be to rough ( they actually don't even recommend using them on your eyeglass' (lens manufactor).


I've used dirty t-shirts to wipe sand stuck on the front element off.

Didn't even leave a hairline scratch (because it was calcium carbonate beach sand, not silica sand)- my point is that these are harder to screw up that you'd think. Still, caution is good.
