Sorry for the silly noob question, but what do you guys use to clean your UV filter? Mine needs some cleaning.... :)
 

If I just want a simple clean, Lenspen will do. If I need a thorough cleaning, I use Kodak lens cleaning paper and cleaning fluid. You can buy from CP. Not cheap though, but it will last you for ages!
 

Microfiber cloth only. Also B+W MRC filter, so no cleaning problem.

Buy a Lenspen from CP.. its worth it.
 

Before cleaning using lenspen/microfiber cloth, use an air blower to blow off any particulars from the filter so that they will not scratch it.
 

Tough stains, pure (99.9999%) Ethanol. ;)

Any specific shop from CP, not familiar about the place. Hehehe....:embrass:
 

how about washing under running tap?
 

I use lens tissue.
 

I use blower with attached-brush lightly at the same time(to :bigeyes:prevent any scratches coz by any fine particles on the surface, then, just use Lenspen will do the job:kiss:(only lenspen=normal & mini versions, so far, maybe its B+W filters, coz many yrs-abt 9yrs ago was using Hoya but due to:sweat: "aiya & aiyo":thumbsd: then changed all to B+W liao:thumbsup:)
 

What do you mean by also B+W only? You mean B+W no need to clean?
Because MRC coating of B+W filter is superb and smooth, so no problem cleaning. If you have Hoya filter, you know how difficult is to clean fingerprint on hoya filter. With B+W filter, its so easy... Just use microfiber cloth. Last time I use Hoya filter, but after I try B+W filter, I change all my filter to B+W filter.
