Tiffen Lens Cleaning Tissue Paper (Pack of 50)

This is top quality Lens Tissue- and useful for All Optical Instruments at Value Priced Levels, it is used for my Heavily Used Marine Binoculars on exclusive basis- after Eastman Kodak ceased lens tissue production. Having been in the Photographic Retail Business for a number of years and now in the Cruise Maritime/Container Ship Merchant Marine Business having clean and clear Binocular Optical Glass is a absolute must for Navigation, Safety at Sea, and especially Ship's Bridge Watch, plus Lookouts, and these Lens Tissues are part of good scheduled maintenance, along with good Optical Cleaning Fluid. Buy it and you will appreciate American Quality Superb Lens Tissue!

No lint on my lenses, no particles. Use for everything, not just camera lenses.

The best lens tissue since the old Kodak brand.

I trust these to clean my lens more than anything else or any other brand. They are dry and don’t leave any streaks behind. I’ve never had an issue with scratches, so I’ll keep using these since I trust them. I can even use them multiple times and they don’t break/tear. They’re soft, but hair doesn’t stick to them. Worth every penny!

I love these little things. When I first got them I was a little skeptical because they seemed a little rough. But after using them, all my worries disappeared. I use them at work for cleaning glass and plastic filters on medical equipment. Using them dry will work somewhat but it may not remove everything. When I use them with lens cleaner solution, they work wonderfully. Always spotless. I have never ever had them scratch but you should always be careful of how hard you press. I trust them enough to clean very expensive equipment. And they never leave any fibers behind. They are a little on the small side as you can see from the photos. If you are cleaning something a little larger, you will have to use multiple sheets. One problem I do have is with how they are packaged. They are all stacked inside a little fold of paper. Whenever I open the paper to take one out, the top few sheets get carried up with it and fly out. If you upset the delicate balance in which they are stacked, you will have a difficult time putting them back together neatly. It's not hard, just time consuming. They do come in an envelope which is extremely useful. They would fly everywhere if not for that envelope. I wish they were attached together and you could just rip off what you need. But this is getting very nitpicky. As long as they clean well (which they do) I will keep buying them.

Well, Kodak no longer makes these tissues. Most small photo shops, where you would pick one up for fifty cents or a dollar, are gone. Apparently Tiffen took over (or always made?) the Kodak tissue making factory. So, these are the same or close enough and are basically, the only game in town. Zeiss makes a “Wet One/KFC” style lens cleaning thing. It’s pretty good too. Walmart sells em cheap either in electronics or the camping and hunting area. These are only for lenses! You’ll have to clean up your greasy fingers with a real hand wipe. It is important to also buy a good air blower (do not user canned air) to blow out the glass before using these cleaners. I have tried many blowers and the Giotto Rocket is the best hands down. Get the big one. Get one for use at home and one for your bag (if you are a pro). After you give the lens a good blowing off, use a bit of this tissue to dust off any particles that blowing would not remove. Then carefully take a tissue, put a few drops of lens cleaning liquid (for camera lenses) on it and very, very gently wipe the leans clean from the center to outside. Be VERY gentle! Heres the part they do not tell you. Get an old 100% cotton T shirt - FOL cotton undershirts are good. It MUST be 100% cotton and clean. Cut some handkerchief size square pieces. Discard the arm pits, neck seam, and bottom seam. And any other stitched parts. Jut the cloth is all you will use. After the cleaner has evaporated off, you may see some discoloration of it left on the lens. With your mouth, breath some vapor onto the lens so it fogs up and wipe it with the cotton cloth. It should now look perfect. Some old timers skip the cleaner and this tissue entirely and just do the warm breath and the cotton cloth. I only use the cleaner and cloth (or the Zeiss wipes) on used lenses I buy that are dirty or at the end of a long trip with the equipment in dirty places and outdoors a lot. I found that the newer lenses do not seem to leave as much residue however, it also seems to depend on the type of lens, macro vs. tele vs. prime and brand too. Cheaper seems to leave behind more residue than more costly.
