Most of my shots are still life thus far, so very tight shots have resulted in some dust and pollens collecting on the lens. I am new to the SLR conversion, transitioning from a "hobbyist" to what I would classify as a vehement "enthusiast." This pen is a bit expensive, yes, but it's performance is extremely satisfactory for removing organic materials (e.g. fingerprints and various other matter of "gunk") and general debris. This pen is easy to remove from my bag with one hand, slide out the brush, and then use the cleaning end without needing to fuss about with my camera other than support it responsibly.The only drawback is that my camera bag is relatively small, so the pen takes up a bit more space than I have. I am purchasing a larger bag, though, so this will be rectified shortly.
I purchased one of these lens pens for myself six months ago. It's compact and fits in a pocket, easy to use and does a good job of cleaning the lens without any scratches. When my daughter told me that she had gotten a new Nikon camera I immediately ordered one for her. I sent it to her and she told me how pleased she has been with the great job it does.
For the price, this is an amazing little tool. This is great for removing dust and fingerprints from your lenses and is only slightly larger than any regular pen, I just leave my in my tripod case. One side is a brush for removing dust while the other has a firm but soft cup shaped surface for applying a little gentle pleasure to take off smudges.
I love this handy product that works in a pinch when a smudge or lint gets on my lenses. Very compact and lightweight.
Pros: Small, keeps brush bristles protected, cleans my lens just fine.Cons: None so farOverall, this does the job and is a good price.
