I will confess to spitting on a lens and wiping it clean with a shirt tail, though.

I have had my camera for 3 years and have only needed to very lightly brush it with a ladies soft powder brush a couple of times. I do keep a u/v filter on except for special shots, to much cleaning will damage the surface coating.

LensPen, and sometimes a microfiber cloth and breath fog. And then sometimes Purosol optical, lens cleaner. I guess it just depends, on the mood I'm in.

A good camera helps a good photographer; it doesn't make one. If you're going to use a filter, make it a good one.
