hi all,

what kind of cleaning agent do you guys use when cleaning ur lens?? i'm planning of getting some at my local old store, but the cleaning fluid they sell is those - red bottle lousy plastic with a printed label "Kodak Cleaning Fluid" (can be water to kerosone, who knows what they put in) doh.gif , for RM23. i ask wheter they sell original packaging cleaning fluid n they say don't have. so i didnt buy any. sweat.gif

what i know is some of these cleaning fluids can dissolve the multi-coating on the lens.

so what i want to know is, are these cheap brand cleaning fluid usable ah?? will it destroy my lens??

oh yah, can i use those cleaning fluid for eye-glasses?? is it the same??

do you know if you wipe to frequent even with the super duper ultra magnus silky smooth macro micro fiber cloth also can scratch you lens?

just wipe when needed only..not every single time you use you wipe..sometimes when we try so hard to take care of somethings..you just damage it even more..

so, it's just not to 'spoil' the lens too much, later turn into a 'spoilt kid'. tongue.gif i think the perspective is similar to having glasses, i also never use any cleaning agent, just plain water only, works like a charm everytime, some more is free. icon_rolleyes.gif guess i'll use eye glass spray. cheaper some more.
