I use denatured alcohol and 1/3rd of a kimwipe wrapped around a chopstick
that has the end ground down to the shape of a screwdriver tip. Standard
equipment. It was the first thing they taught new technician trainees
at..................Nikon. They had out a bunch of chopsticks, you make
and eyepiece cleaning tool that you end up using on every camera you work
on. Tip wears down, regrind it a little.
