A note from a Durante-esque Leicaphile:
Did that all day yesterday on my M3 with an aux 35 finder.  Wondered why the
$%#@! I had a dirty finder.  Now I know.

Reading this has given me an excellent idea. I'm going to cut a piece of
micro fiber from one of those white-with-a-red-dot cleaning cloths and
superglue it to the tip of my nose! Perhaps I'll occasionally give it a
drop of Clearsight too.
