Best disposable camera lens wipes?

I am seeing spots on my images produced by my Canon 10-22mm. I have been reading up on "lens cleaning" and decided I would like to try the disposable wipes to start out. Are there certain ones / brands to avoid?

Which ones are you guys using? I don't want to (but will if that is what's required) spend $3 for a 10 pack of disposable tissues, but also don't want anything that may damage the glass.

Thanks for any help.

I saw this thread:

The only ones I have tried (because I heard they were the best) were the Zeiss pre-moistened ones and they left a residue one my filter once the liquid cleaning solution dried that I had the wipe off with my lenspen.

Usually the Rocket Blower alone is enough, but when it's not:

I like the Zeiss ones too. Blow first to remove any loose grit. Sometimes I may have had to follow up with a soft microfiber cloth to remove the last bit of residue. It's usually best to clean infrequently. The more often you mess with it, the greater likelihood for a scratch or other accident.
Are you sure the smudge is on your lens and not the sensor?

Can you post up an example of the "spots" you're seeing on your images with that lens? If there's dust or spots on the front element of the lens, it's likely not going to show in your images because it will be so far out of the plane of focus. It's entirely possible the spots you are seeing is sensor dust...

Unless you're really set on the idea of getting disposable wipes, it might be best to just pick up a good lenspen. I've never had to use any kind of wipe. I personally don't like the idea of putting any kind of liquid cleaner on my glass. All I use is my lenspen and/or rocketblower, and they always get the job done.

As already mentioned, if you have spots on your images, they unlikely from dust or dirt on your lens. Check you sensor instead. Shoot a picture of the clear sky at f22 or higher. You will see the spots if it is the sensor.

Or shoot a white ceiling at f22 and even on the LCD screen, zoom to max and go around the edges. If you see dust, you need to blow it out or wet clean it.

Thanks for all the feedback. I am definitely looking into a quality lenspen. Here are 2 images that have the spots. I am at work so the images will not show up on the pc. They are across the sky and I believe this was shot with a high aperture. Again at work so I can not access the properties of the photo through flickr.

It's not the lenses, it's dust on your camera's sensor. Buy a rocket blower and follow the instructions Living with a dSLR means living with dust...no way around it.

Thanks for the advice! I just googled "rocket blower" and have something similar that arrived in a kit with a purchase I made from Amazon. the blower I have does produce a fair amount of wind, but does not have the hole on the rear side. Should I look into a genuine "rocket blower" or will the one I have due the trick?

I just watched a youtube video demonstrating the use of the rocket blower. Very simple task so give me feedback to get my camera back in top notch shape

Thanks again for posting

+1 ... exactly

You definitely have a dirty sensor...Get a real Rocket blower....they are inexpensive and work the way they are intended. A Lenspen SensorKlear is a good investment too.

Slightly soiled Huggies work every time.

Lenspens are great!
