| All telescope, camera, and eyepiece optics need a little cleaning from time to time, no matter how carefully we handle them. Here are the essential tools you need for removing dirt and oily fingerprint residue from accidental careless handling of binocular, telescope eyepieces, cameras, finderscopes, and other small optical components. This kit from Canon will keep your optics in tip-top shape.
This Canon Optical Cleaning Kit for small optics contains all of these items in one convenient package:
1.- A “lipstick" style optics brush. The bristles of this extremely soft brush gently remove coarse dust and dirt particles without scratching your optical coatings. The brush looks like a lipstick container. Remove the cap, turn the bottom of the brush, and the soft bristles extend for use. Turn the bottom of the brush the other way and they retract to stay protected until the next time you need them.
2.- A one ounce bottle of Canon lens cleaning fluid. This safely removes grime and oily residues. It will take a long time to run out, as it only requires a drop or two to clean your optics.
4.- An 8" square lint-free polyester and nylon microfiber cleaning cloth. Great for quick removal or grease and fingerprint smudges from lenses, its microfibers pick up tons of dirt.
5.- A packet of small lens cleaning tissues. A drop or two of lens cleaning fluid on a tissue is all you need for cleaning small lenses and around lens and eyepiece edges. Use a second dry tissue to remove any residue. We don’t need to tell you that you can easily replace them at any camera store when these are gone, or you can use a lint-free Kleenex or clean cotton handkerchief instead.
All of these components are packed (with instructions on their use) in a snap-lock plastic case that slips easily into your pocket where it will always be available for dirty-optics emergencies in the field.
