Really? A moistened tissue? I was under the impretion that most tissues left fibres behind, tiny but there none the less. I really prefer a glass lense cleaning cloth.
The reason I would like to use a brush, is to remove the loose hairs/fibres from the lens after blowing it clean. I very rarely go the route of a liquid clean. Just some hairs get lodged etc under the retainer for the lens, I don't want to wash the lens because of lodged material.
Blow, brush, liquid clean.
