Hi Bob ...

I was doing something quite similar, using a remote stream in the
Canadian Rockies, but, unfortunately, weather conditions are such right
now that Mounties won't let anyone through the Tawandehoo Pass until the
thaw.  This is a problem as most of my micro-fibre cloths are stalled in
transit, and the ones I use for A* lenses and those for the Leica glass
are amongst that batch.  You seem to be pretty knowledgeable about such
things - can I safely use a cloth that has been dedicated to SMC Takumar
lenses on later Pentax lenses, specifically the A* series.  How might
they work on Leica lenses?  I've always kept the German and the Japanese
cloths separate, based on advice received from the Leica list.
