I use a Giotto's Rocket blower and a microbibre cloth, thats it, never had a problem with dust or dirty lenses, truth is many people over clean their lenses, which is'nt a problem if done properly:cool:

I use a rocket blower for the internals and just lens cleaner spray (onto the microfibre cloth, never the lens itself because it can leak into the internals) and said microfibre cloth.

You could get all of this for <$10 easy and that includes several cloths :)

Edit: Rocket blower can probably be had at any local camera store and the lens cleaner fluid there or an optometrist's.. ditto the microfibre cloth.

I heard someone suggesting using tissues as a cloth lying in a camera bag can pick bits of crap etc
