Anyone know where I can get large lens cleaning cloths from?. The camera shops have small ones and the ones I have a fairly small maybe 10cm square, I would prefer some larger ones for when filters get a lot of sea spray on them and need a clean, a small cloth doesn't really cut it.

Thanks

Go to an optometrist shop and ask them.
They have large, microfibre cloths and they are much cheaper than getting them from a camera shop.

I got some that I can almost wrap around my Canon 60D for about $10.

I use them for my lenses and they seem to do a pretty good job, and they are nice and soft too, as they are made to clean plastic lenses without scratching.

Go to Harvey Norman etc and look for TV cleaners. They often have a 'kit' on special with a cleaning solution and cleaning cloth. My cloth is about 30x30 cm

Birdman I find if you get salt spray on your filters no Micro cleaning cloth works :( They dont seem to soak up the moisture associated with the spray/Mist , You end up with smudges which leads to flaring if doing Sunrises , A soft, Note soft, Pure cotton cloth (Old T-Shirt) works really well , Then when home clean them in lukewarm soapy water and dry ;) Works for me and I have no scratches at all
