Customer Review: The Perfect Lens Cleaning Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
LensPEN Lens Cleaning System is the one tool that you should have with you at every shoot. LensPen is the best tool for removing dust and smudges while on the go or on the set. I bought the LensPen after a Hollywood Director friend recommended it to me. Believe me when I say to you that I will never go to a shoot without my LenPen again.
It has two convenient tips for cleaning your lenses. For removing dust and larger particles from the lens it has retractable soft brush. The other end has a some sort of non-liquid smudge removing element.
Every time I use my LenPen I'm amazed at how easily and competently it removes dust and smudges. And it's super easy too! I used to dread cleaning my lens, because of the multiple steps and tools involved. But, now I give my lenses a once over with the LenPen every time I have a shoot. It looks like my lenses are cleaning than they've ever been.
I highly recommend the LensPen Lens Cleaning System to anyone who shoots video, film, or digital photography.
Customer Review: Works, better than other methods
Summary: 5 Stars
I went out for a shoot on a windy day and got a ton of dust on my sensor.
After trying numerous methods on the internet for wet cleaning the sensor, all I ended up with was and even dirtier sensor. I spend weeks fiddling around with all sorts of different methods, but none would get all the dust off, or would leave streaks etc.
A guy at the camera store local to me told me this was the best way they had found.
The technique is simple. Use a rocket blower to blow off the dust and then gently wipe the sensor off with the pen tip.
After about 4 tries, my sensor was spotless with a aperture F25 test image against a white sheet of paper.
Best of all this slips into my camera bad for on the fly touch ups.
UPDATE
I have now been using this for quite a while now. I lent it to a friend who was more than frustrated with wet cleaning methods. His remark, was "it felt wrong at first, but that was fast and much better than wet cleaning methods"
Customer Review: The only lens cleaning tool I keep with me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried so many different cleaning tools, and I always stuck with the basic lens tissues and cleaners. But with today's lenses, they didn't do the job (speed and ease) I was looking for.
The guy at my local (100 year old) camera shop recommended I try one of these.
I have removed all other cleaning items out of my bag except for one "cloth" that I use to clean the outside of my camera and this pen.
Always start with the "brush" to brush away any grit or sand that could possibly scratch the lens. Then lightly, use the other side (felt) to clean away smudges and other marks. It's quick, easy and unbelievably effective!
I use it on my lenses, the LCD of my SLR and even my cell phone.
The first one lasted me a year. I am on my second and recommend it everywhere I go.
Customer Review: A Great Portable Lens Cleaning Machine...
Summary: 5 Stars
I read about the LensPen in a photography magazine and decided to give it a try. Trying to keep DSLR filters and camera lenses clean is a chore, especially when cleaning liquids keep leaving some smearing, no matter how careful you try to be. The Lenspen has two types of cleaners in one small package -- a very good dust brush and an excellent cleaning wiper for smudges or dried moisture spots. I learned the hard way that dust can build up over time, especially on the small lenses of point and shoot digital cameras. This makes the pictures you take blury and darker than they should be. Don't be disappointed, if you want to keep those pictures as crisp as when your camera was new, you need to keep a lenspen in your camera bag and use it before every shoot. Two great tools in one tiny package make this job as simple as can be!Customer Review: I had doubts, but they proved unfounded
Summary: 5 Stars
My initial reaction to seeing this product's claims was one of disbelief and fear that it would do more harm than good. However, it was cheap so I took the chance. I tried it out on some old cheap optics, and it turns out my fears were unfounded. It works excellently.
This pen has never damaged any of my lenses, and with its compact size and convenient shape, it is the most portable cleaning solution imaginable. I still rely on chemicals for doing "proper" cleaning of equipment, but that's only in the comfort of my office. While out anywhere, when shooting in harsh conditions, I need something with me for reliably getting dust off the lens. This pen is that. It is now never leaves my camera's side.
I now rate this as an invaluable SLR accessory.
