Lense Cleaning Cloth

Hi I looking for a small lense cleaning cloth that can be attached to a strap or bag. I found the one below that looks like it would do the job but wondered if anyone has come across a Canon branded one (or something better altogether), doesn’t really matter if not just would be nice to match everything up.

Thanks

Hi,
Don't waste your money on 'branded' items like this. It's no better or worse than any micro-fibre cloth and you can probably get one free from your optician.
I suggest the Giottos Rocket Air Blower, the Hama Lens Cleaning Brush and any micro-fibre just to buff things up.

If you do find a canon one, let me know. I quite like the idea of using a Canon cloth to wipe my Nikon's bottom

Hi Matt,
Aren't you concerned about cross-contamination?

Would you want a lens cleaning cloth tied to the outside of your bag anyway? I can see the item from your link is in a bag, but that means you will have a bag on a bag to hold something that could just as easily be stored in your main camera bag, unless it's for a fashion statement. Fear of snagging would be a big concern to me too.
