Only if your lucky enough to wear silk T-shirts.So, wiping it on my T-shirt isn't the answer then?
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

A well washed 100% cotton T-Shirt is fine as long as it hasn't been near sand Probably better at mopping up the gunge than lens tissue etc.So, wiping it on my T-shirt isn't the answer then?

Threads have a tendency to get silly when there's nothing sensible left to say.
As for cleaning lenses, the glass surfaces that is, I always use a microfibre cloth and very rarely need lens cleaner of any type.

Quite right, John, but I think we do need to ask the suppliers as to whether Eclipse/Eclipse 2 IS suitable for cleaning lens surfaces - I will be job-hunting (just been made redundant!) tomorrow, so could someone else do that on behalf of us all?

Yes, but I never let the lack of something sensible to say stop me.Threads have a tendency to get silly when there's nothing sensible left to say.

AS for Eclipse Fluid, just Google it and all the answers are there. They claim it is for lenses and give instructions - that is, apply to a cloth and not directly to the lens.
I have indeed got some Pentax microfibre cloths, so ChrisA you need not feel disappointed!
