Well, I do use filters. On ALL lenses. Then again, I may not be handeling
my lenses in a typical way anyways [1].
Still...I was wondering, considering all the discussion on using wet vs.
dry microfibrecloths vs. lens-paper vs. clean dipers vs. whatnot vs.
something from Zeiss, how much of damage I do when I too use a lenspen. I
am not over eagerly cleaning my lenses, but after using a lens for a day
or so, it does tend to get dusty and needs a whipe-off with the brushy end
and, occationally, to be gently rubbed with the "other end" of the lenspen
to rid it from traces of water droplets etc.
How long before the lens-police comes to arrest me for abusive behavior ?
[1] I rarely bother with front lens caps, stuffing lenses into the bag or
into pockets when out taking pictures. And the only reason why I bother
with rear caps is, that I am not able to mount a cheap, expendable
UV-filter to protect the rear lens.

Think of it this way. Most microfiber lens cloths have an area of 35
to 40 square inches, on each side. And after I use it a few times I
wash it out. The pad on a lens pen is what, 1/4 square inch area?
Once either one has been used a couple of times distributing the dirt
and microgrit on their respective surface areas, I know which one I
would not want to use again, ever.
