Thank you everyone for your GREAT responses. I suspect that kimwipes and
maybe some salt crystals were the culprit in our scratched lens. I really
appreciate all the tips and advice. Hopefully this won't ever happen again!
One more question to add: does anyone clean lenses preventatively (i.e.
daily) or should it be done only as needed?
Thanks again for all the great information!
