This may sound like a very basic question but does anyone have any experience with the best way to clean expensive lenses. I have a Sigma 70-200/2.8 HSM (expensive for me) and managed to get considerable dust on the lens itself while waiting to get a properly sized UV filter. I have lens cleaning cloth and solution but am really worried about even touching the surface of this lens. Is it possible to scratch them easily? What is the most effective method of cleaning, is there specific supplies that I should purchase (air brush etc.) should I even use a cleaning cloth? I guess it would help to know just how sensitive the glass on these lenses is? Any help would be apprecited.

Thanks,
Lost in Minnesota
