Overview

The Nikon 8072 Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth is a simple but essential accessory for anyone who works with optics. Made from durable microfiber, the cloth features anti-static properties that attract and lift dust, fingerprints, and smudges from delicate surfaces without leaving scratches or lint behind. Whether you are wiping down a camera lens between shots, cleaning binocular eyepieces in the field, or polishing a pair of sunglasses, this cloth handles the task gently and effectively.

What sets this cloth apart from generic alternatives is the included clip-on carry case. The case keeps the cloth protected from dirt and debris when it is stowed in a camera bag, pocket, or clipped to a strap, so the cleaning surface stays clean and ready to use. Weighing just 0.32 ounces, the entire package is practically weightless and takes up minimal space. It is a small investment that helps protect far more expensive glass, and its washable, reusable design means it will serve you through countless cleaning sessions.
