Hi, Robert:
Thanks for your kind support.
I have microfiber cloths all over the house. And in the use of toilet tissue, the activity can be over simplified--and frequently is. I used ONLY White Cloud or Charmin--lightly. Still better were the clean strips of used, 100% cotton T-shirt (Oh, no, fibers ... we're all going to die!). The point was to follow T.R's mantra of "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have." So many people want to make cleaning optics into rocket science. That bolsters the ego but wastes a tremendous amount of time.
There are many things a thoughtful and dexterous (but inexperienced) person CAN do to damage their optics. In most cases, however, if they were to speed up the activity 10-fold, they would be dead before the effects could be seen by anyone short of Superman.
There are things the super optics geek COULD know about cleaning optics. However, many--while technically accurate--are just, to the professional's way of thinking, ... FLUF. With 50 to 80 repair jobs in the queue at all times, I just didn't have time for FLUF.
Every opinion on the various bino forums are just as valid as all the others. However, that does not mean that every opinion is as ACCURATE as all the others. :cat:
