Mardi:

The salient point here is that seeing a compressor, used in a garage to service 8 motorcycles, without even a line filter, discharge oil and water is not an argument for NEVER using an air compressor of any type on optics.

And so far, no one who has contributed to this thread has mentioned any problem when using an air compressor on optics, while a number of contributors routinely use them with no trouble.

Hmmmmm.
