Very simple - this is the best.
I was cheap for a moment and bought cheap cleaning fluid - result my beautiful Sony DSC-R1 got rainbow on lenses. I bought this thing and after that my lenses are spotless.
I am using it for everything - glasses, TV, LCD Monitor and etc.

The product works much better than other brands I have tried. Don't let the other lower reviews fool you. They are either because people thought they were buying more for the price or because people were unhappy with the price. If they are unhappy with the price then they should buy it somewhere else. That is the nature of an open/free market. When I read a review, I want to know whether the product works or not, whether the product is reliable or not. I want a PRODUCT review. I do my own research into prices (try PriceTrace or CamelCamelCamel to get price histories before you buy).

Having said that, this product works very well. It sprays evenly. It cleans without damaging the lens - assuming you are using a proper cleaning cloth (some prefer microfiber, others lint-free disposable cloths - I have used both with similar results). It doesn't leave streaks and it is not too thin (problem with cheap drugstore cleaners) or too soapy. And, for those that really want a price comparison as part of the review, I thought it was very well priced (three dollars including ship.)

Very good quality lens cleaner. I was able to clean even the dirtiest legacy lenses to mint condition. Highly recomended.

This is a great product but the cost of shipping is outrageous. I checked on the Web and found free UPS shipping from Eagle Optics.

this stuff works great on my camera lens and filters. I had bought some filters for my camera on ebay they came with some kind of oil or something on it and was hard to get off. this cleaner took it off and cleaned filters up great will buy again worth the money shipped and rec on time.

I was able to use this solution with a pair of old (but clean, freshly washed) cotton boxer shorts to bring some decades-old lenses to brand new quality. Make sure you spray the cloth, and not the lens.

I wouldn't recommend this for dyed plastic (such as Cokin color filters), for the sake of the filters. For most purposes, though, it's excellent.

The lens cleaner itself is great. I spray it right on my glasses with no adverse effects. It cleans and does not streak. The spray bottle does not work when the bottle is filled to capacity. I had to transfer the cleaner to an older empty bottle to get it sprayed on my glasses.

This is by far the best commercialy available optics and lcd cleaner, those other negative reviews are nonsense. Ditto for Zeiss cleaning wipes I use both products on a daily basis.

I was advise to use this procuct by my glass retailer and use it ever since. I'm satified of the cleaning result only not readily accessible and more expensive in Canada.

I do not understand how Carl Zeiss allows its name to be used in such a bad product. I rather use water. Once you apply it, it becomes very hard to take it off... it leaves a film.
