Reply to OT: Your lens cleaning method of choice

Ever since I visited the Leica factory repair shop that used to be here in town, it's been a squeezy-bulb blower for dust, and breath and lens tissue for smudges. Once I saw that that was all they used on their gazillion-dollar lenses, I figured it was good enough for me. The pertinent thing that the technician pointed out was that the condensation from breath is chemically inert. i.e. it won't harm the coatings on your lenses - ever. Neither, of course, will the air from that squeezy-bulb.
