Hi,

What do you guys think about lens cleaning paper? Do you use it? Any experiences?

Thanks!

I use silver Rizla papers.

I have had some, and they seem fine. But I would prefer a lens cleaning cloth instead, something about the softness that is reassuring.

Lens tissue is going back a bit.....microfibre cleaning cloths are my choice, with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid if (very rarely) needed.
Best regards, John

Great, thanks so much for all your replies. So, any microfibre cleaning cloth will do?

They are sold specifically for lens cleaning from a variety of manufacturers, including Pentax. Source one from a photo retailer and you should be OK.

They look nothing like the lens cleaning cloths I've used!

Of course I don't use Silver Rizla papers.


Green ones are much cheaper.

Indeed John, they are like small soft towels, but they work great.

Thought I was kidding eh.

I did, and OH MY GOD!

You would think Rizlas would scratch the glass, but it would appear not.

Useful tip there methinks....
