pancro is the best no question. I work in film I get production to pay for them, and at the end of the show we keep the rest. I have gallons of the stuff, even clean my tv with it. Also filming in the rain-forest it can work as a very short term bug spray
Picked up the Zeiss cleaner and worked a treat, cleaned off the smudges with not much effort and included a cleaning kit for £30, Given the choice I would have used Pancro but it is both very expensive, and seemingly difficult to get a hold of from a reputable place here in the UK whereas the Zeiss was readily available.
I tried ror seval times, and noticed after cleaning a few days later. There is a noticeable residue that forms. I have never seen this happen with other cleaners, but it did cause a problem On shooting day for me. My go to is pancro and only tried ror to check it out. Pancro is God.
Questions: I have been spraying Pancro onto Rosco wipes and somehow this is leaving streaks on my glass. Does this stuff expire? Mine is super old and that's all I can think would be causing it. Also, if these products are most isopropyl alcohol why not just buy a big bottle of 99% iso at the pharmacy to 2 bucks instead of paying 5 dollars per ounce of this stuff??
Hello! It's tough for us to say for sure because there are so many determining factors. The best thing to do would be to contact Pancro directly and see what they say - www.pancro.com/contact
Thank you for testing. I was wondering though if there is a difference in ingredients that needs to be considered. Some cleaners are potentially damaging to coatings, e.g. I read that it is not recommended to use cleaners based on isopropanol for high end optics (fine for eyewear though). Any insights on that?
Thanks for the question. All of the cleaning solutions tested in the video contain isopropanol in some concentration. The Zeiss, Pancro and ROR have been industry standards for optic cleaning for 25+ years and have been proven safe on multi-coated lens optics.
