Leica Help!

When I clean my lens or camera with my lens off, I always is the cloth which I use it to clean my glasses. I am not sure if it is a proper way to do. Advice please !

You should buy a good lens cleaning kit: a Blower, Lens Cleaning Paper, and lens cleaning fluid.

A larger kit here:

Giottos Rocket-Air Blower Large Cleaning Kit & Lens Pen | eBay

I would not use the same cloth that you use for your glasses: they tend to pickup too much oil and grit.

With the lens cleaning paper: good for one cleaning, next one is clean.

I think we're all in agreement with Brian.

One more thing I am looking for a string which could connect the cover with my len in case I would not lose my cover while taken my pictures.
