What's the best way to clean the front element on a lens from things like smudges and dust? I'm a bit paranoid about scratching either then glass itself or the coating on the front.
I use the method here:-

Please also take note of the use of UV filters at the end of the article - they are good investments for expensive lenses.
Thanks.
I've read some interesting things about UV filters so would only use one if I really had to, then probably go for a skylight filter. But at 82mm filters for my expensive lens arent cheap.
They are`nt as expensive as a scratched front element....
