My accumulation of lenses date back to 1974 when I bought my first Leica. A CL. They get cleaned regularly with, then, Kodak lens cleaner and tissue, later, a tee shirt and ROR, and now, microfiber cloth and ClearSight. They look as pristine, clear, clean, no marks of any kind, and do not flare when pointed toward the sun or other bright lights. I live and do most of my photography, on the California coast, on the shoreline. What more can you ask for? Jim (to each, his own) Brick
