Lens Cleaner

Can some one recommend a good lens cleaning kit. What should I use to clean my lens? I don't want to do damage to them by using the wrong stuff.

Thanks

Be sure to use only an untreated micro fiber cloth when cleaning. Most of the time you won't even need any liquid with it. This one is 18% gray, so you can also use it to set your white blanace!

Whatever liquid you decide to use, be sure to spray it on the cloth and not directly on the lens.

I heard of and tried a pretty good tip recently which was to clean the lens with a cigarette paper. The papers are dust free and contain no chemicals that would be harmful to the lens surface. It works very well, picking up dust and oils without leaving a trace. They are super cheap, compact and recyclable. Just be sure not to touch the lens with the glued side of the paper.
