Cleaning Leica Optics (1 Viewer)

good advice from Zeiss

etc said:
I tried Isopropyl Alcohol (91%) and cotton balls.

Slight residue is left from Isopropyl Alcohol and the lenses have too be rubbed for a few mins it seems to get rid of it.

Then the cotton balls leave some specks of cotton, you can get rid of most of them by blowing on the lenses.

I will try to find a real cleaning kit.

Hello!
I recommend to all users of expensive optical gear the Zeiss brochure on cleaning microscopes.
It can be downloaded for free from here:

What's good for Zeiss is good for Leica as well.
And most of what is said for Microscopes does apply to binoculars, too.

Cheers, Tom
