Do not remove lenses from their cells

Hi Phil,

I should have added this:

You wrote:

"... is it better to remove the lenses for cleaning, if so how, or is that a no-no too?"

No, no need to remove lenses from the binocular or from their cells. You are more likely to do harm than good by doing so for lots of reasons. The inside optical surfaces _should_ be clean unless the binocs have been opened. Just clean the outside surfaces as I have advised with the lense cleaning fluid and lense tissues and they will perform just like "bought-ones" again.

Best,

Les D
