Lens cleaner question

[annamaria]

Hi all, I bought this cleaner to use on my phone and other items. I was wondering if this would be safe to use on a camera lens glass. What do you think?

It's probably safe, but all of the products of that type that I've ever seen streak horribly, and on coated lens elements, that might be a bugger to clean. Lens paper and a few "huffs" of breath are all you need 99.99% of the time, on the rare occasions you need something stronger, a drop or two of pure iso alcohol will do the trick.

Zeiss makes good stuff, but I wouldn't trust my lens' coatings to something that wasn't designed specifically for camera lenses.

I wouldn't use this solution for all my lenses. I only use this for my sunglasses, iPhone, tv, laptop and etc, because it is cheap. I rather buy a high quality lens cleaner at brick or mortar store, because it is anti-static and anti-fog. It keeps away dusts and fog on my lenses all day. The microfiber cloth is safe to clean pretty much anything.

Email the manufacturer directly and ask them cleaning.na @zeiss.com

Having tried Zeiss consumer grade lens/display cleaning products I cannot with good conscious recommend them.

Only use a cleaning liquid when a huff of breath won't remove whatever is on your lens.
DO NOT SPRAY LIQUID LENS CLEANER DIRECTLY ON YOUR LENS.
If you do, capillary action at the edge of the lens mount can cause the liquid to migrate inside the lens.

Microfiber cloths not kept scrupulously clean trap hard dust particles that will scratch the lens coatings on a lens.
Only use disposable lens tissues if you want to make sure you are cleaning your lens with a dust particle free wipe.

Thank you so much everyone for your suggestions. Really appreciate it. I won't use the ones I have then.
