[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I used to use the tissue on my previous N**** lenses with no problem but a friend put a scratch in his lens one day (a "corner" of the folded tissue did the deed) and that was it for me. Now I use the Pentax cleaning cloths which I launder religiously and rinse several times. I am about to remove my UV filters permanently and your post gave me a heart attack! It will take at least a week or two for me to contemplate taking the filters off again! Funny thing is I will gladly use my Leica camera body as a tire chock when changing a tire but I just freak about the lenses.
