Orange ones work the best imo.

Fluids? I just use my breath.

You sure that's the right link?

I mentioned fluids because I assumed that one needs to apply some sort of liquid to clean the lens.

Pretty sure.

IMO the blue ones rip too easily.

I like the red ones.

The net at work is terribly slow and can't wait any longer for the page to load. What exactly are these things?

Medium weight Rizla rolling papers - large size.

Probably not what you're thinking

Forgive my blondness, but how does this work for lens cleaning?

I use Eclipse fluids. Just make sure you get the right one for your sensor. The one is used for the self-cleaning sensors which contain tin oxide, the other is used for the older non-cleaning sensors.

You can use either to clean the glass on your lenses too.

Thanks. I was reading about this on ODP as well. I'll have a look.

Same as any lens paper - you just wipe away the smudges etc. IMO its best not to use the side with the adhesive on it.

It costs next to nothing and is readily available.

I must say I'm taking anything I hear on TWIP with a bigger grain of salt each week. LensPen is probably to this, but I find they're talking out of their arses a great deal of the time.

That said, my BS filter is tripped less often and I enjoy the show much more since Scott Bourne is not on it any more.

 

[Reeseling]

Will keep that in mind. tx

LensPen's are excellent, been using them for 4 years, light easy to pack and cheap to replace. Once they start getting a shiny coating on the pad, replace the pad or the pen.

Approximately how many shots could if I use the internal flash?
