They just didn't seem to need it until someone recently wiped a finger on the right lens. I've yet to clean some of my other binos. My philosophy is that one should clean lenses as infrequently as possible so as to avoid inadvertant lens damage while cleaning. Unless there is a blatant fingerprint or finger oil smudge, I'd be happy cleaning cleaning my bino lenses perhaps once a year. So, how often do you clean your binocular lenses?
