It's amazing how many LUGNUTS don't seem to understand that the front element of their lens can handle the hardest rubbing with a soft cloth or chamois that one can imagine. Hold the phone.... this is bad advice to suggest to anyone. They start hearing that the lens will take this abuse, they will try it and with disastrous results. The fact of the matter is that although the surface is tough, it is still a coating that can be damaged. If some "Tech" tried this with my lens I would raise the dead. Clearly, it shows the person is not careful. So, people...forget these anecdotal stories and use care when cleaning the lens, regardless of the make. Don't rub the hell out of your front elements. RM
