Zeiss Pre-Moistened Lens Cleaning Wipes - 200 ct.

Product Information

This product can be used with coated snow goggles, sunglasses, helmet visors, ski, swimming and diving goggles as well as with lenses for computer glasses, protective eyewear and camera lenses. Although, this is another DIY method that we're against. The less you use a microfibre cloth, the less wear and tear (as mentioned earlier). It's best to have a separate one for your camera. The gentle formulation is free from alcohol, ammonia and fragrances but still cleans all devices thoroughly.

A Microfibre cloth is a one-off expense as it can be reused, but over time can become less effective with wear and tear. The cloth itself will need cleaning now and again, and make sure to give it a shake every time before you use it. This will help remove any potential dust and dirt.To be extra safe, only use rubbing alcohol with a high percentage of purity. The purer the alcohol, the less additive ingredients which can contaminate lenses. 95% purity is a good benchmark. Can you clean camera lenses with glasses cleaner? The final step is to wipe the lens. This will clean it of any smears/smudges not removed by the blower and brush. Specifically developed for the gentle and effective cleaning of digital devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers). Many photographers would scream upon reading this, but hear us out. If you're out of cleaning fluid, then the condensation from breathing on your lens can lift dirt and grime when wiped with a cloth.

ZEISS AntiFOG spray and ZEISS AntiFog Cloth leaves behind a thin film (comparable with a temporary additional coating) on the lenses. This ensures that fine, condensed water droplets cannot adhere to the lens surface. You'll also need lens cleaning fluid to use with your microfibre cloth. It comes in either spray or liquid form, and you should always apply it to the cloth to avoid damaging the lens. Start in the centre and move towards the edge in a circular motion. That way, if any dirt remains, it won't be in the middle of the lens. With your other hand, hold your camera lens angled downwards. Any dislodged dirt and dust should fall down and away from the surface of the lens.

Most camera lenses have an optical coating of magnesium fluoride and/or silicon monoxide to help with light transmission. These are scratch-resistant, but glasses cleaner isn't designed with them in mind. This should only be on rare occasions of dire necessity. It’s important to remember that regular breathing on a camera lens can contribute to fungus growth. If fungus gets inside the lens barrel, then you've got a real cleaning job on your hands! Now that you know the safest and most effective steps for cleaning camera lenses, it's time for the pitfalls. Avoid these three common mistakes, or you may end up with dirtier (or worse, damaged) lenses. The basic LensPen design has been around for many years and now comes in various sizes to suit lenses from large DSLR optics down to tiny phone camera hardware. This NLP-1 variant is the original design, suitable for larger lenses. Its standout feature is its 12mm diameter tip. This has a slightly concave surface to follow the curvature of your lens’s front element, and is coated in carbon to enable it to remove grease and fingerprints without resorting to a liquid cleaner. Avoid using clothes to clean camera lenses, there's a chance that the fibres can create micro-scratches.

This one comes down to personal preference. You can use glasses lens cleaner for camera lenses… but the question is, do you really want to? By inspecting, you'll see whether they actually need cleaning before you dive in. Too much cleaning can damage lenses over the long run — so any cleanaholics read that again!

The combination of ZEISS AntiFOG spray applied with the ZEISS AntiFOG Cloth can make your lenses stay fog-free for up to 72 hours without influencing optical quality. Use a soft-bristle lens brush if, after using the air blower, you can still see dust or particles on the lens. Get your brush and gently wipe the lens surface and inside edge of the lens barrel. Keep holding the lens at a downward angle and try not to touch the brush bristles. Water contains minerals such fluoride and chlorine which can be harmful to glass and may leave residues. Hard water (water with a high mineral concentration) could even leave micro scratches on lenses.
