Cool! I have had to clean a few objectives, with no problems so far. Careful use of chemicals with soft specialty cleaning tissues is a must though. The tissue is the key, it is amazing how some things that seems so soft are really abrasive. It has been stated before that many plants use iron to bind cells together. But cotton is just one cell per strand and does not contain iron. I am not sure what is used in making the cleaning tissues, but they are great. I bought a pack of 800. smile
