Gear: Cleaning lenses

Clean your lens correctly ... Whatever type of camera you use ... in all probabilities you have a lens sticking out in front of it (pin-hole users, please ignore the post) ... That lens collects its own set of souvenirs as you travel along and put your equipment to use ... in the form of dust, smudges and (hopefully not) scratches.

Here's an article that I had found recently on how one of the more popular lens rental companies clean their lenses ... and note that these guys clean lots and lots of lenses!

This is possibly too 'hardcore' for most of us, but it gives you more than an idea on how to go about it!
