>What is the best way to clean a Leica lens? I'm looking for brand name
>>recommendations and the best technique. Any suggestions?

I just received a pamphlet praising Hama=B4s new LENSPEN. It=B4s =
refered to as "The new revolutionary cleaning technology". It looks =
like a thick pen with a brush at one end and a strange looking =
cleaning device at the other. Let me quote from the pamphlet: "It =
consists of a revolutionary non-fluid cleaning agent(powder) that =
cannot dry out, thereby replacing all previous cleaning systems"

Isn=B4t this what all conscientious Leica photographers have been =
waiting for? Why don=B4t one of you guys get yourself the new LENSPEN =
and then give the rest of us a report. I myself don=B4t have the guts =
to use anything unknown on any of my beloved Leitz lenses.
