How the hell do i get fluff off?

[Robbo]

I just got a micro fibre cloth to clean my lenses, and when I look into at the lens after there seems to be tiiinnnyyyy bits of the fibres left on, how do I get them off or will the camera not pick them up?

thanks

Maybe a lens pen?

Nah the cam won't pick them up, unless a bit of light glints off them.
I'd say probably a rocket blower.
With using the cloth, I'd say less often is better you'd be surprised how much mess you can get away with but you can't put the coatings back on the optics.

don't use lens cloths. They are universally rubbish.

If you must, use lens tissue (50 from Jessops or Calumet for about £3) these do not leave debris.

Ideally use a RocketBlower / LensPen combo.

I use a glasses micro cloth (Kodak optical cloth), leaves nothing at all - pop to your local opticians (or pinch the wife's like I did ) and they should be able to sort you one out easily.
