I use lens tissue wrapped around a chop stick that has ends ground down like
a screwdriver. Saturate tissue with denatured alcohol. If there is one bid
blob (like old mirror bumper) try to scoop it all up with one forward
motion. Discard, start with new tissue. Wiping more than once with a
tissue on the first swipe will only smear the mess around.
Repeat 15-20 times and the mirrors clean! :-)

Subject: [OM] Cleaning a mirror
| I'm actually asking this question for a list member who can't seem to post
| right now (Is AOL blocked?).
|
| He's asking how to clean a small smudge off the mirror and I honestly
don't
| know. Can you use a small amount of lens cleaner? Does it matter if it is
| the original mirror (OM-1, etc) or the 'semi-mirror' (OM-4, etc)?
|
| Any advice would be appreciated. He's still getting messages, so a reply
| here will work.
|
| Thanks to all!
|
| Tom
