Anyone else going crazy waiting for these to come back in stock at Canon? I have been waiting for months on them to get them in stock... Any ideas on when they will be back?


I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Why not just get another brand of microfiber lens cleaning cloth? They're all the same.....

I highly doubt it.

Well, figuratively... As in, I am anxious for them to come back into stock; I am just about out of them... :rolleyes: :)

Sweet! I know how CameraClicker feels. I received one from another photographer about 4 years ago and have been using it ever since. Not to clean my lens, but for my LCD screen on my camera, my iPhone, etc...and it works great. I know there are other microfiber cloths out there, but this one performs better than any of the others ones I've tried.

$1.75 a piece on the link that khng30 provided (thank you by the way!) and I just ordered 12 of them. Might as well stock up!

The 3M one listed by Solara says they can be washed hundreds of times. Why do you need so many?

Assuming they are the same size as the existing one I have, it is 11.5 inches by 9.5 inches. It's 18% grey, has a suede-like microfiber cloth feel to it, and is pretty thin...so it packs up easily in your pocket.

Personally, I stocked up because the price is so low. These will keep me stocked for the next 20 years. I've been using one for almost 4 years and have washed it dozens of times...and it's just now starting to look and feel worn.

BTW, I have some of the 3M Microfiber Lens cloths and they aren't as nice. They're also nearly twice the cost too.

Do you wash it with regular laundry or do you wash it by itself, or hand-wash it?

Assuming these are similar to the ones for eye glasses, always hand wash them with very little dish soap and air dry. The chemicals in detergents and softeners tend to stay in cloths and can be harmful to the glass coatings over time.
