While almost any microfiber towel will get the job done, we think the best one for cleaning your lens is the Nikon 8072. Not only will it keep your lenses sparkling clean, but it’s easy to transport thanks to the integrated pouch and clip.

Nikon is known for its great zoom and prime lenses, so it should come as no surprise that the company knows a thing or two about keeping them clean. Their own branded microfiber towel comes in a compact clip-on bag, making it easy to carry around. Removing dust with 8072 is made easier through the towel’s anti-static microfiber material. Nikon has designed this product to be used specifically on lens glass, so you needn’t worry about any scratches developing when cleaning your gear.

MagicFiber offers quality cloths at an affordable price point. They come in a polybag pouch and do everything you would expect from this type of accessory. Expect to see dust, dirt, and smudges easily removed whilst leaving no scratches or streaks on your lens.

ZEISS make quality lenses. That’s why we’re pleased to see they make a great product to keep them well maintained. This non-abrasive microfiber towel will keep your lens free of scuffs and scratches, and its big size of 30cm x 40cm will cover any surface that you need cleaned. It easily removes dust, lint and annoying fingerprints. To get the most out of your ZEISS lens cleaning towel, you can use it with their cleaning fluid, without having to worry about streaks and spots.

If you have lots of equipment and screens that you need to keep clean, want to have multiple towels in multiple places, or even are just prone to loosing your cloths, then getting a multipack of microfiber towels may be the way for you. Fortunately, this multipack of an incredible 20 towels from K & F Concept covers everything you need, and best of all, it won’t break the bank. Coming in individual packets that are vacuum sealed to ensure that there is no contamination, these cloths can be washed and reused, and you can even buy a multipack of 40, or even 80, if this 20 pack isn’t enough to satisfy you.

Microfiber has become a popular choice over the last decade. It’s made from synthetic materials, commonly a polyester-nylon blend. Compared to cotton, a microfiber lens towel is highly absorbent. So instead of pushing dirt and dust around, it collects them and effectively removes them from your lens, making it easier to keep it clean. A quality microfiber towel will be more than capable of removing tougher substances such as mud, for example. And although more expensive compared to other materials, consumers can expect it to have a much longer life span.
