  • Any drop-shaped marks left from this process on the water- and oil-repellent-sur-face can subsequently be removed with a dry cloth.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• Neutral Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be used to protect the front lens element.
