I'm sure you will love them. I don't want to use anything else now.

I had been thinking of ordering these since Orio mentioned it. I had found them from an E-bay seller and put it in "watching".
My wife saw it and said I can pick them up at wal-mart. I told her no, no these are special. a couple of days later she said I got those cleaning pads for you. I looked and I'll be damned, she picked up the zeiss lens cloths at wal-mart. $3.50 - $3.70 anyway less than $4.00 for a box of 50.
I couldn't believe it, wal-mart.
They work great. They clean all my lenses, not just zeiss equally.

Ron, I'm going to Wallies tomorrow (have some film to get developed) and
will check for those Zeiss cleaning papers. Hope they have them, I don't
thrive on disappointment...  |

Good idea about the Zeiss cloths, I think I'll get some too.
I once managed to blow some dust specs above the focussing screen in my ME Super using a rocket blower and couldn't remove them. I had to put up with them for years until I had a full CLA done. After that experience I threw the rocket blower away and now I always use a vaccuum cleaner with the small nozzle on the tube.

I bought some on eBay as well. They're handy for quick cleaning.

Try that in Madrid, it's so dry in here and isopropyl alcohol evaporates so fast that you have barely one or two minutes before the towel is dry!

Wallies sells them down here, too, Ron! $2.97 for a box of 50 and they are
pre-moistened so I don't have to lick them no more before using! They
aren't in the photo section but vision center for eyeglasses/contacts. |

I think that might be the same price my wife paid Bill. I didn't know what department they were in. Good price for something that works so well.
