Just breathing on the lens and wiping it clean seems to work well. The modern lens coatings are very tough. You need to be more careful with older lenses. My 1954 Summarit has a very soft coating which I clean with great care and a light touch. - -- Stephen Holloway http://www.deepturtle.com/steve/photos _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
