(An alternative to cotton Q-tips are long handled chamois tipped swabs
that will not leave any fibers. They can be obtained at most electronics
specialists. Locally here in Oregon, that is Norvac electronics.) - Matt
This may well be considered as inappropriate as my intemperate and
wanton use of epoxy, but I've cleaned an OM mirror on more than a
couple of occasions with Windex and a Qtip. The trick is doing it
GENTLY and not leaving any little cotton fibers behind by
finishing off with a bit of loosely wadded-up lens tissue and a
puff of clean air.
I've done the same thing using denatured alcohol, which I usually
have on hand. But I always have Windex around, since it's my
magic blue lens cleaning solution. I carry a small plastic
squeeze bottle in my camera bag.
