Lens Spray Cleaner (2-Ounce Bottle)…

This is lens cleaner. It works. I wear glasses and, as a proud armchair photographer, I have an assortment of camera lenses too. I'm not in the habit of cleaning my glasses regularly so they often get quite cruddy. Debris, smudges, oily eyelash marks, and other, more questionable substances smear my windows to the world. After blowing off loose debris, this cleaner applied onto a microfiber cloth cuts right through the build up of grime on my UV-coated lenses. This product does streak, but only if you use too much and allow it to dry on the surface. One should only apply lens cleaner to a cloth as the product instructs, never directly onto what you're cleaning, and should only use enough to make the cloth damp (1-3 sprays allowed time to soak in is enough). If you saturate the cloth too much, the cleaner will wind up on the surface and will leave streaks when it dries. Using this stuff again the right way will remove the streaks. Also, it helps to use a clean microfiber cloth. Double also, it takes more than one pass to clean a very dirty surface. I've come to learn these things after having used a third of the bottle in 2 years. This works great on glasses and camera lenses. Works great on glass, cellphone screens, and LCD monitor screens too. I've tried using it to clean the plastic window of my car's instrument cluster and it didn't do very well. It did so unwell that it sort of etched the surface so that there are milky spots on it now (which can probably be removed with some plastic polish). I can't and don't fault the product though since it was never formulated to be a universal plastic cleaner. Be cautious when using it on other materials. This is lens cleaner. It works (on lenses, glass, and some plastics).

First off i want to say this is a great cleaner, and leaves a nice polish and shine on everything i use it on, it works great. Secondly i want to say i actually LIKE the small size, it fits perfectly into a glasses case. even an inch bigger it will not. any smaller it would be a ripoff. Lastly i want to say everyone downvoting this great item because they misread what theyre getting and expected a pack of 24 instead of just one, learn to read better and stop downvoting great items because of your lack of intellect. Carl Zeiss is a brand name. Is it really worth the extra? depends how much you use this. If you're like me and take good care of your glasses, you can use this every once in a while, get a nice polish, have a nice brand name, fit it in a glasses case. However for someone OCD whos going to spray this every chance they get, it may run out fast and not be worth it to you. If you want a nice cool fashionable cleaner that gets the job done, blow a small five bucks try it out. If you need a pack of 24 for discounted prices, look else where but this is a 5 star cleaner for how it looks, what it does, and its conveniently small travel size.

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.)

Zeiss lens cleaner is excellent. My Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L wide angle zoom lens had a couple stubborn spots and other gunk on the front element. A Giottos air blower and light wiping with a very soft cloth wouldn't do anything to remove that stuff. Zeiss lens cleaner made short work of it. I sprayed a little onto a new microfiber cloth and very lightly rubbed the spots on the lens. Zeiss lens cleaner removed them almost instantly. It worked great on my B+W circular polarizer filter. This stuff is so effective it can remove spots that have been on a lens for several years. There is an old Canon Rebel-X 35mm film camera on a shelf at my workplace. It has an inexpensive Tamron 24-210mm lens attached to it. Somebody lost the lens cap. So it had all kinds of dust and spots built up on the front element. Using Zeiss lens cleaner I had the front element looking like new in just a few seconds. Do not spray this cleaner directly onto a lens. Spray a small amount into a clean microfiber cloth instead. Here's a bit of a warning: a lens cleaner like this is no substitute for using protective lens filters. The more times the front element of a lens is cleaned the greater the risk is of rubbing tiny scuff marks into the lens coatings or even the glass itself. It's a lot easier & cheaper to replace a protective filter rubbed raw from frequent cleaning. Also there are types of liquids and debris that can harm the front element of a lens.

Typically I find pricing from Amazon and Amazon third party sellers to be on par if not ahead of other big box retail stores. With this Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Cleaner...this is not the case from many third party sellers here on Amazon. Yes, shipping is included on Amazon if you are a prime member, but if you use on a regular basis...this may help you save! Please note that I love this product! It really is great for cleaning anything optical! If you are planning on using on a regular basis I would not purchase here unless you are able to find similar pricing (please see below). $6.95 is hardly a deal for a 3 oz bottle. In fact, I do not believe the list price is correct. I purchased a pack of TWO 8 oz Bottles of the same exact Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Spray Cleaner and it had two cleaning cloths for $5.34 plus tax at Sams Club. They also sell a travel kit for $5.47. These are available in store only and you do need a membership. Here you are paying over $2 an oz vs less than $0.38 an oz at Sams Club (including tax). That is a BIG difference. Hope this helps other buyers save if you are interested in purchasing this on a regular basis and shop at Sams Club. Please note that I am not in any way affiliated with Sams Club...just wanted to pass on this info!

They say not to use household window cleaners on lenses - and to be careful about what you do use. A few years ago I got some lens cleaner as a gift and it worked nicely, but since I ran out I've had to live with refilling my bottle with the household stuff and cleaning my laptop screen with it. I've been cleaning my lenses with the old soft puff of breath to create a condensation mist, and following that with a lens pen. But I have to admit, that scares me - those camera lenses cost a fortune and I value them, so finding this Zeiss cleaner makes me happy - once again I'm able to get clean glass. Seems to do a great job -just remember not to spray any kind of cleaner directly onto any valuable glass - instead mist it onto a soft cloth or lens tissue. BTW - I use a UV filter on my lenses ... it protects my lens glass and cuts any UV at the same time, and I don't care as much if I scratch a filter because they don't cost near as much. Saves a lot on lens cleaning too.

Nowadays, every household contains a collection of high tech devices. Most of them contain either optical elements (cameras, glasses, camcorders, binoculars etc.) or screens (TV, mobile devices, computer screens, navigators etc.). Every now and then dust or smudge piles up on them creating both an eyesore and impaired function. However due to the delicate nature of these items, cleaning them requires quite a bit of attention. Most of the screens and optical elements come with two types of coating: 1- Water repellent anti glare/ anti reflection coating 2-Strong scratch resistant coating. These coatings, if not treated well, can get damaged in time and the most well known scapegoat is ammonia while bleach, peroxide, household windows cleaners and types of alcohols are on the black list as well. Then comes the question: How will we clean them at all. That is why you need this product. Those who are interested in optics or photography know that Carl Zeiss is the world leader manufacturer of high end lenses ($1.8 million worth confocal microscopy located in the institute I work in carries carl-zeiss lenses) and therefore it is safe to leave this delicate cleaning in the hands of these professionals. This item does not list the ingredients but clearly highlights that it is ammonia free. I have used this solution on a wide range of equipment (camera lenses, filters, laptop and tablet screens and my glasses) over the past year and I am extremely happy with the performance. My kids (1 and 3 years old) like watching cartoons from tablets while having their snacks and they touch the screen with their dirty hands. So my problem is even worse than what most people experience. But with microfiber cleaning clothes a few rubbing gets rid of everything and restores the shiny look. Just be careful about one thing: On the bottle it clearly instructs spraying on a cloth first then wiping the item with that cloth with a warning sign saying 'never spray cleaner directly to lens surface' I use it at least twice a week and so far, in a year I could only come to the half of the 3 ounce bottle. To give you and idea: spraying 1-2 times is enough to clean a 8.9 inches tablet screen and thus even the smallest size looks like a decent stock for at least two years (depending on how often you use). Although I wholeheartedly recommend this product, I have to give you a fair warning about the price fluctuations in amazon. I bought it for $8 a year ago with free prime shipping but now I see it is supplied by a third party vendor with more than double the (price+shipping) costs. So it might be a good idea to check other vendors or may be go for a dual pack (be careful some of the sprays are not designed for coated lenses) that would save you some money...

I recently purchased a number of 3 oz. spray bottles of Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Cleaner for use on my camera lenses; glasses; monitor screens; binoculars; etc., and am extremely happy with the product. I've been using it with my micro fiber cleaning clothes and so far have not noticed a single scratch appear on any of my devices. The spray cleaner does an excellent job of cleaning and the built-in pump mechanism in the bottle is of excellent quality - ensuring a fine spray and good coverage. The 3 oz. bottle size makes it easy to pack it in your camera bag or keep a bottle in the glove box of your car. It is now my spray cleaner of choice.
