I've been working in a chem lab all summer... Acetone is used to clean all the glassware (and some instruments) before they are used. Acetone is an excelent, solvent why not use that to clean lenses? Yeah, I know its a carcinogen but if you don't inhale the fumes you're fine and anyways I'm sure many of the other cleaners are carcinogens too. I HAVENT TESTED THIS AND IT VERY WELL MAY RUIN YOUR LENS. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it as it seem to make sense to me. - -- Michael Garmisa <elmar@webreach.com>
