Best way to clean a lens

[KRyan]

I just got an X-125 that may or may not be having some problems, I'd like to give my new laser the benefit of the doubt and say its an external factor. I going to grab some energizer e2s and I was wondering just how one goes about cleaning a laser? My first thought is a dry coffee filter...

First use compressed air to remove any dust or particles that can scratch the lens. If that alone doesn't do the job use a microfiber cloth like those used for cleaning glasses. Put a SMALL amount of lens cleaner on it and carefully clean the lens.

If money isn't an issue you might wanna invest in the LensPen. Do you happen to have any pictures of your particular "problem"? :-?

Lens Pens are cheap. Your local camera store should have them, as well as Radio Shack/The source by Circuit City/whatever they're calling themselves now. I got mine for $12 at a camera place nearby.

Lol, what do you know about cheap? You spent $2000 on your Spartan (kidding) ;D

It was only 1100

That's a pretty good point though, I gotta admit.
