Don't fancy the 'bit of paper on end of metal stick' method that appeared quite recently here. :shock:

Well that's the accepted method for cleaning the sensor.

For filters and lenses though, all I've ever done is breathe on them and polish gently with a soft cloth which is all the manufacturers usually recommend. You can buy proprietory lens cleaning solutions which should first be applied to a cloth and then to the lens - not used directly on the lens as they can strip the lens coating. I've never felt the need though to use these solutions.

I use the blower brush and either a cleaning cloth I got from PP a while ago or some of the jessops tissues. The lens cleaning pens are supposed to be very good too.

I use the OptiWisch Microfasertucher (2 of), for mine.

Had to have it hand imported from Germany though.

Works a treat, and dirt cheap too.
