[QUOTE="blueiron, post: 1427, member: 203"] Isopropyl alcohol works to clean the lens. Not certain about coated lenses though. I suspect many here might be too young to recall the days when photographers for Playboy magazine would place a smear of Vaseline on the objective to soften the image just enough. They used Isopropyl alcohol to clean it off. If it got spilled into a zoom lens, get it immediately to an authorized repair center. They are inherently loose to allow zooming and if it gets into the works, it can make a horrible mess in the AF motors and VR function. [/QUOTE]
