May I offer a simple suggestion: When you feel a question coming on, which is relatively unsophisticated, such as the above, perhaps you could do a quick check of the archives first? I plugged "cleaning lens" into the search engine and it found 708 matches. On the first page returned by the search engine are 5 messages titled "Lens cleaning technique/materials" and 11 messages titled "Lens cleaning". I'm sure that you'd find a good answer in that first page. You can find the archives at: http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/ M. - -- Martin Howard | Visiting Scholar, CSEL, OSU | All wiyht.
