what do u guys use to clean it? just a rocketblower or microfibre? qtip probably no good? the searches ive done seem to all talk about cleanin thefocusing screen which i will avoid. im just wondering about the piece you put your eye to, not the inside. i dont see any dust when looking into the eyepiece, but when i pull the camera away i can see some specs and want to see what i can do before a thin layer of dust actually forms

Microfiber cloth.
I wouldn't worry about it if you can't see it when you put your eyes on it to compose...
could be the focusing points that you see when you pull it away. my 2 cents.

Microfiber cloth wrapped around the end of a Q-tip. Mist the eyepiece with your breath first.

For the eyepiece? Microfibre cloth.

Why anything else? They work on glasses, they should work on an eyepiece.
