Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they’re a pain to wash.

How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?

    The Zeiss microfibre lens cloth is an absolute essential too, while we’re on the subject. Combine that with the spray on cleaning solution and you can get them extra extra clean with next to no effort. I was actually shocked how well these two worked in my case. Too bad I already damaged the lens coatings before that discovery, haha.

      Odd. I’ve tried the Zeiss spray+microfiber cloth before, and it just didn’t work for me. It leaves greasy smudges on my lenses. I’ve found that only dish soap or the Zeiss disposable wipes actually left a clear and clean lens. Are you using Zeiss spray or a different lens cleaner?
