It leaves residue.  I can never seem to get that junk off my 
lense...perhaps it is because I have lenses with SO much glass (Hasselblad 
110/2 and 50/2.8) that easily show up ANY residue.  Perhaps on smaller 
glass, without careful inspection, you can get away with it ;-)

Do you use the 100 Grit Kodak Lense Cleaning "Tissue" (cough, cough)?
