That hasn ' t actually happened . Calm your tits . <| sep |> Well no , MIL # 4 survived for 11 years before the divorce and now lives three miles down the road . And is annoying as fuck . <| sep |> He could be doing the Batman shtick , turning his own fears into strength . <| sep |> Honestly just a microfiber cloth is enough . If you want to get really fancy you can get those individual Zeiss lens wipes the first link you posted I think but tbh my friend gave me a few of them and they really weren ' t any better than a microfiber to me . But they do have the advantage of being small , and guaranteed to be clean when you open them , so that ' s a big plus . A microfiber sitting in your bag could attract dust or grit which is bad , but the individual wipes will be good to go . You ' ll learn pretty quick that obsessing about cleaning the front of your lens is a waste of time and effort . Your lens can literally have a fly stuck inside of it , or the front element can literally be cracked down the middle , and it has almost no effect . Real professional lenses used to have actual tiny air bubbles inside the glass , and it doesn ' t matter either . A bit of dust on the lens is not important at all . Even some scratches doesn ' t matter either . Basically , be careful with the camera but don ' t baby it . If there ' s a bit of dust on the lens , don ' t stress about it . Maybe get a box of those individual lens wipes for in case you accidentally fatfinger the lens after eating a jelly donut or something , but besides that , don ' t worry ! In other words , don ' t waste effort worrying about cleaning supplies . I know you want to treat your new baby well and keep it pristine , which is great , but I don ' t want you putting extra stress on yourself for something you ' ll eventually realize is not that important !
