6.5shooter Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hello folk, Was just wondering how all of you clean youre expensive lenses? I never really clean my glass because they all have butler creek caps on but one of my lenses has a few water marks on it and im very afraid of scratching it by cleaning it the wrong way. Whats the best way without damaging the glass or glass coatings? Regards Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
re'M'ington Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Go to an opticians and ask for a lens cleaning spray and cloth.....BINGO,and a fraction of the cost of one of the schmidt onjes,and I have both. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Avoid optical lens sprays with silicon in them - they can damage coatings. A link to US Optics and their cleaning video below. http://www.usoptics.com/index.php?page=instructions http://www.usoptics.com/video/cln1.wmv David.

6.5shooter Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks fellas. I have found out that Jessops sell a lens cleaning kit for a fiver which includes Lens cloth Lens tissue Lens fluid Cotton buds Lens brush Think its just the ticket so I will but one and see if its any good.

whoowhoop Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Just bought one from Jessops myself today when I went to get batteries for my rangefinder. Looks a much better bet than the Leupold Lens Pen, which I was never very keen on anyway. And half the cost too. Just thinking about using the dental wads, same as in the action cleaning kits, for soaking up any mositure on the lens. Cheap enough. I'll make a kit up in a ziplock bag.
