Best method to clean prism, mirror ....
Hi,
I was told by NSC that they use special paper and liquid to clean the mirror and prism, and these items can't be found in the market. It is true that if you use the top class lens tissue there will still be lint on the mirror. Can anyone share good cleaning tips, let's contribute to this thread. Regards, Bernard

never. never clean the mirror with lens tissue or lens liquid cleaner.. just use a blower and brush off the mirror.

Best method to clean prism or mirror is to leave it alone & bring it to NSC whenever your camera needs cleaning.

Be careful. I presume you know the camera mirror has the silver mirror coating on the front. The only time I ever tried to clean a mirror I left a small scratch - I will now only use air - something really good for air cleaning is to buy a baby ear syringe. the large size will send out a pretty good burst of air.
