    Lens cleaning question

    My 2-year-old somehow got ahold of our camera and took the lens cap off, then started drawing on the lens with a ballpoint pen. What's the easiest way to get the ink off? Microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol is one recommendation I found online, but I wanted to ask to be sure that won't hurt whatever coating the lens has. Thanks...

    If it is not a nano coated lens etc, use a small dab of rubbing alcohol and a micro fiber cloth. Best thing I could find online as well.

    It's a Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm, f/3.5-? lens. We bought it new earlier this year.
