I picked up a "Leica Lens Cleaner" today .... part #942197 ...... which is a
piece of white satin like material measuring eight inches square. I cannot
see even the remotest trace of surface grease or residue or reflection of
same on my filters. The cleaning ability of this little cloth far exceeds
any prior cleaning with lens cleaning papers and liquids. The cloth's
instructions say merely to "wash it in soap-suds and clear water and then
dry it in the air. It will be as good as new."
