I try not to mess with them to much in the field but I have used the Zeiss wipes after using canned air to blow them off. When I'm home I put them under the sink faucet to wash any dust or mud off as much as possible 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delwain Report post Posted July 16, 2016 I use a soft brush to get rid of any loose debris, then a q tip dipped in water for anything stubborn like fingerprints that the brush can't handle. Finish it off with the softest lens cloth I can find. Definitely have to remove the loose stuff before using the cloth to avoid scratching the lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
