ian moore Posted May 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) This may be an odd question but I use a range of B&W filters (polarisers and soft focus,etc). I find it very difficult to clean them. I have bought B&W lens cleaner spray and also their microfibre cloth for lens cleaning. However I find that this leaves smears on the filters or streaks. Any advice would be helpful. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem, even messed up a lens with that stuff - lens cleaner spray. In my desperation I used "smear away", got rid of all those smears. Next I will try 99% wood alcohol. That should leave no smear. And it's locally available and inexpensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted May 21, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2013 The Zeiss lens cleaning tissues come packaged individually in an alcohol cleaner. I've had good results with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted May 21, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2013 How do you clean a wine glass? No - not in the the machine; just by hand. It works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokoshawnuff Posted May 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) The only spray I've had luck with on the MRC filters is Purosol lens cleaner. I only use the spray when a clean microfiber cloth doesn't do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
