I'm looking at the best way to clean my eye pieces- I'm interested in the LensPen.
On a thread
here Geoff (Starkler) mentions:

I clean with Bintel juice, and buff any residue smears off with a lens pen (which never goes near a dirty eyepiece). Result is totally spotless glass.

I'm surprised from reading this thread that Tele View suggests using Windex!
But, what do I know
.
I (okay not me, but hubby) has used that Isopropyl from Bunnings (mentioned in above thread) and did leave a residue which he then had to buff off using a lens tissue anyway
.
I've had concerns that the LensPen will retain some of the dirt and put it back on the eyepiece (seemingly shared by Geoff quoted above). But I'm a bit confused, as I've just seen the
you-tube video demo of the LensPen and it seems to suggest by putting the pen back in the cap and twisting it, it re-charges the carbon back on the tip. But what about the dirt it's already absorbed - what happens to it?
But, also another thing...
Is it okay to use the LensPen to remove makeup? (I'm a girl after all
) Or is just for finger prints and oils only. Does it actually take the place of a "good clean"?
.
Thank you to all for taking the time to help me out.
