LensPen New DSLR Pro Camera Cleaning Kit, NDSLRK-1

As someone who is now getting into professional level photography (having started with a cropped-frame DSLR and moved into full-frame DSLR cameras) I think the lenspens are a must-have to keep your valuable equipment clean.First off, no cleaning method is perfect at getting dust/lint off lenses and many actually leave more lint than they pick up. That is not the case with the lenspens. They are much better at picking up lint than the traditional solution and cloths which may leave behind fibers from the cloths themselves. Cloths can be abrasive to the coatings on newer lenses and some solutions are not safe for use on filters so you have to be very careful.Here's how I clean my equipment:I use these pens in conjunction with the Giottos rocket air blaster to remove dust and dirt from my lens filters and lenses. It's just a little hand air pump, NOT a can or aerosol. The combination of those two products - a total investment of about $25 - works so much better than anything I've tried before.1)I hold the lenses or filters under a decent light at a 45-90 degree angle to the floor so I can see where the dirt is and so the dust can easily fall off. Never ever touch the glass with your fingers unless you are about to drop it on the floor and your hand is the only thing stopping it from breaking!2)I spray the lens or filter with air from the rocket blaster first3)I brush it gently with the brush end of the lenspen (FYI- there is a lenspen for lenses and another one that is safe for filters. You get both in this pack plus a smaller one for the viewfinder)4)If there is still dirt or a brush bristle, I then wipe it with the carbon side of the lenspen. Don't touch the carbon with your fingers either because you don't want to leave oil from your skin on the tip of it.5)I make one more pass with the rocket blaster and spray air on the lens or filter to clean up any tiny bits of lint that the lenspen may have left (recall how I said no method is perfect!)6)Repeat steps 3-5 until satisfied, otherwise YOU'RE DONE! Woo!It takes all of 2-5 minutes to clean with! It's a great product. I'll be buying some as gifts for other camera enthusiasts.

These take up minimal space in the small pocket of my camera bag. On one end of the pen is a charcoal activated little scrubber; the charcoal sits inside the cap. On the other end is a retractable brush. The 3 pens are clearly labeled & the pen sizes also help remind you of which is for which: 1 for the optical viewfinder, 1 for the camera lenses (glass), 1 for filter lenses (plastic). The microfiber pocket/case that these pens slide into, also work great for general cleaning purposes. They are easy to figure out & use, even for noob or young (children) photographers. (They make great stocking stuffers & are also good "accessories" to go with your new lens, filters, or camera purchases.)Overall, these are an inexpensive & great tool(s) to keep in your camera bag in order to protect your investment!

So, I bought my other half a camera (Canon G15...very good) for their birthday here on Amazon. We went shopping for cases in person the next weekend as I know they are picky and needed to see that part in person :( So went to a B&M store and they then saw this hanging in the camera section and insisted they needed one as they had seen me use mine on my DSLR. I picked it up and looked at it thinking that it would be too big for the smaller rangefinder. Lo and behold... there is a micro lens pen included in the set and also I kinda needed a new one for my DSLR too because it was just time. Well as always, I scanned the product bar code with my handy Android Amazon app and saw that it was um $13 dollars less and clicked my buy button. Done. When it arrived 2 days later with my prime shipping, Woohoo. Now to add actual discussion of the Lens Pen. Invaluable. Performs different function than an air blaster rocket thingy. Cleans lenses very well. This set also includes a Lens Pen for Filters. Have no idea if it is different than my regular Lens Pen but it's cool. Also has a handy microfiber cloth case thingy which the lens pens clip to... And BTW, the micro size lens pen is perfect for smaller P&S cameras! All in all great purchase and experience!

Nice set of LensPens. I have used LensPens for several years and getting this set with the new little one for the sensor, with the little case added, is a good deal. LensPens work well for quick cleaning of lenses and filters. No, fluid or cloth, just the pen and you can clean things up well and quikly. However, thought the sensor pen is great to some people, I would only say it is fair to me. But, this set for this price was pretty good. I would recommend LensPens in general and this set in particular...for the price. If I could, I'd give it 4+ stars...but not 5 only because the sensor pen would only get a 3 by itself.

my lenses filters are so clean and clear now that I can't find them. Please LensPen will you refund me for all the UV filter's that i've lost. I've had to get a frequent member card from Hoya because I've ordered so many and I really cannot afford to keep buying these UV filters. I'm behind on rent and my landlord is threatening to kick me out. But when I used the mini-pen to clean his glasses, he was so amazed with how well he could see, it reinstilled his lust for life and he extended my late payment final warning date by one month.another problem I have with these lenses is that the curved LensPen works so well that my lenses looks so clean and new that I'm getting accused of buying new ones and my landlord is starting to get suspicious because he keeps coming over asking for me to clean his glasses and he sees the lenses and how shiny and new they look, but he thinks i'm buying lenses instead of paying rent.great product but be careful because with great power comes great responsibility.
