oz31p Report post Posted July 17, 2016 I very seldom clean mine, almost never in the field. An ounce of prevention....... It take a ton of crap to affect them. At home I have a camera cleaning kit with fluid spray and lint free lens paper. really? mine get dusty or some times water spots on them often when i have them out Yes really. If you try to clean them In the field your liking just grinding dust and dirt into the lens. Unless it's strait mud alittle dust and dirt does not affect there perfomance. I also keep them covered when they are not in use. I can't imagine what your doing to get mud on the lens of a set of optics. Who takes $1000's of optics into the field with out lens some type of lens covers? Water spot also don't affect their perfomance either. If mine get dirty in the field and their perfomance is not affected why risk scratching them till I can properly flush them at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted July 17, 2016 Electrical grade acetone and a super soft cloth will clean lenses if they are that dirty. I always seem to get water and crumbs in my eye cups. I just ordered Swarovski field cleaning kit off Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5guyshunting Report post Posted July 17, 2016 My ocular lenses tend to get Copenhagen and beer in them while around my neck. Maybe a bino-bib should be invented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
