So it turns out that lit fuses tend to emit large, hot bits of smoking matter...
I was lighting some fireworks and I must've gotten my LOC too close to the burning fuses because I noticed that my Jayrob Meredith lens (coated for red) has huge black chunks of matter stuck onto it. I can see them on the wall when the dot is unfocused, and I can even see them when I peer through the lens itself.
I emailed Jayrob about it a while ago because I thought he might know the safest way to clean it off. He referred me back to some threads here about lens cleaning. However I've found that the threads here aren't very "clear" (unintended) about the proper way to clean a coated lens without damaging it. I've read that Windex works, water, alcohol, blow dusters, cotton swabs.... are all the way to go. Which should I do? Do they all work? I suppose I have only one way of knowing for sure but I risk ruining the coating.
This lens has been a great lens, and I'd hate to lose it. What can I do to get rid of the grime?
