Lens Cleaning

I don't seem to be able to find in the User Manual advise on how to clean the Leica lens without damaging it - I understand it's extra sensitive. I figure air and microfibre cloth, but can any sort of solution or distilled water be used or any kind of brush for bigger particles? Been trying to find some related postings but my searches return mixed results...

Could someone answer this newbie question?

Thanks,
Howard
 
Re: Lens Cleaning

Just a nice chamois or microfibre and a puff of air from you.

NO CHEMICALS as the lens is coated! Consider getting a UV FIlter as well that will further protect the lens from scratches and the like (Id rather clean a UV lens than my leica)
