Lens Cloth?

[mshockley]

Okay, can anyone suggest something that doesn't leave lint all over my lens. I have tried so many different things, even cut up an old t-shirt (thought that might work rather well) no luck. Everything still seems to leave those little dust/lint pieces. There has to be something better.....

you tried microfiber cloths?
They work, you just need to keep them clean
I suppose you could go old school and get some lens tissue...

Yes, even microfiber seems to leave little bits of dust. lol...maybe it's just me. I like lens tissue ok, but it is a bit of a pain. I really would have thought the t-shirt idea would have been perfect. But no!

I own this (I am NOT a Nikon user.. don't care) and I highly recommend it. The lens cloth is microfiber with a suede feel. Leaves no fibers behind. Lens pens are awesome.. I have even been able to virtually remove a couple of spots on some lenses that I thought had ruined the lens!

thanks so much Papa...I'm going to give it a go.

I use microfiber from a "Dollar" store. They are in the eye glass section. For a dollar I can use a few times and throw them away before they get dirty or linty..

Years ago I remember reading one of those Hints from Heloise type articles about using coffee filters to clean windows. They don't leave streaks, or paper fibers behind. I wonder if those might be too abrasive to clean off a lens. Someone else go first.... lol

I don't like cloths, too hard to store and keep clean...it only takes one swipe with a piece of grit to scar a lens.
I like blowers and lens pens (with retractable brush)...But I usually just blow on a lens and use the lens pen/brush, I generally only use the bulb blower for the camera.
