Nikon Lens Pen Cleaning System

Nikon Lens Pen Cleaning System

The brush works as advertised, but the other end is rubbish. I've ordered two pens and both came with the same defect: The foam tip is lodged in the pen cap. The remaining part of the tip is felt-like, but is covered in black stuff. Good thing I tested on my hand first when I didn't notice the issue with the foam. I would have gotten black schmutz all over my lens!

bought for my d40, but havent used. may come in handy in the future.. i'll update post if i use.

I was a little leery about getting this type of cleaning tool since I thought the only way to truly clean was to use fluids. But I thought I would try it, and to my amazement it really does work great. I still use fluid cleaners every once in a while, but when in the field this pen cleaner is perfect. I no longer have to worry about running out of liquid cleaner or worry about fluid bottles drying up or spilling all over the bag. This pen stores neatly in my bag and won't get messed up by other items in the bag due to its protective covers and sturdy construction. The brush retracts perfectly into the holder and the buffer is protected by a cap. I have used this pen cleaner many times over and it still seems as new as the day I got it. The brush works great at getting rid of dust particles over the entire lens, not just the optics. The buffer makes finger prints and water spots disappear from the glass. I frequently use the Nikon 14-24mm lens, and that is a lot of glass to clean; no worries with this handy pen.

It does just what it says, and it does it well. It's very easy to use, and very compact so it's no problem to bring with your camera anywhere you go. I don't really understand by what magic the little suction cup thingy cleans the lens, but I do know that it works and it's great!

after MR.MURFEY messes you up; READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!it will work great,i know there are others that works good also.but not as handy.
