I experimented several "solutions", including immersing a filter in a soapy lukewarm water, then rinsing it thoroughly. I am sure the dirt was removed from the glass surface but I still saw some streak etc. Perhaps the wipe cloth (and one of those Kodak papers) I used was not suitable. Then I discovered a micro-fiber cloth sold under Pentax brand and it worked very well. Just wipe dry and the glass is clean. I also use this for my glasses (I wear it on and off because of weak myopia, and keep touching the glass every time I pull it out) and the same effect, very clear glasses with no mark/streak. Or maybe I am too lazy to mess with any sort of solutions ;-). Since then, I never used any sort of liquid (perhaps I should use it when the surface is extra oily/greasy). I am not a micro-fiber cloth salesman and your mileage may vary of course. Ken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
