I agree, I would never recommend cleaning the mirror either, I'm not familiar with that mirror in particular, but if it is anything like a metal mirror any pressure could damage it. Which is why I said if you absolutely must get dust off of it, you can lay a tissue on it, apply a few drops of alcohol to the tissue, and pull the tissue off to the side, making sure that the largest pressure the mirror feels is the weight of the lens tissue.

You sir, have my respect! :thumbup: I employed your method on a 'loser' SLR with a good and dirty mirror and it worked! I did use 91% alcohol, undiluted, which I wouldn't recommend for the lenses, and it left behind a quite clean mirror. The key word(s) here though is no pressure.

Thank you, it's always great to try something new (to me) while learning from others!
