B+W 12x15 Photo Clear Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth

Clean glass is the simplest upgrade you can make to image sharpness, and the B+W Photo Clear Microfiber Cloth is designed around the specific demands of optical surfaces. Where generic microfiber can leave lint traces or smear oils rather than lift them, B+W's poly-nylon blend has been laboratory-tested for use on camera lenses and filters. In the field — between portrait sessions, at an event, or changing locations on a landscape shoot — a fingerprint or breath smudge costs you contrast and flare resistance. This cloth addresses that quietly and without chemicals, using the microscopic fiber structure to capture and remove debris rather than push it around the surface.

The 12x15-inch dimensions are a deliberate design choice. A larger cloth lets you use a clean section of material on each wipe, which matters when you're clearing oil off a front element with multi-coating. The included protective plastic envelope keeps the cloth isolated from the grit and dust that accumulates in a camera bag — because a cloth that's collected sand particles becomes a liability rather than an asset. Care is straightforward: warm water rinse or machine wash without fabric softener, then air dry. Treat it correctly and it delivers consistent, coating-safe performance across a large number of cleaning cycles before needing replacement.
