I have a 24-70L that I got a few specks of salt water spray on it. Not so bad it will affect images so much but never the less if there is a good way of cleaning the lens with out damaging the coating this would be a big plus.
PLEASE, this is not a filter conversation. There are thousands of filter conversations and they don't help those trying to understand the +/- issues and challenges in cleaning front or back elements.
What is the best technique for cleaning a front element?

Blow off the front element, brush the lens with the brush end of a lenspen, polish with the polish end of a lenspen, brush, and blow.
