I got these to have in my pocket for when I walk around at car shows or dusty areas that I can just take out the pen and open the brush and brush my lens off. The other end has the cleaner/smudge removal pad and that works really well but I don't use it as much because I rarely touch the lens. But it works great.Another great product from Nikon.
This is one of those little items that make you wonder why it took so long to come out. Rather than fiddling with cleaning clothes that always seem to trap everything but the dust on your lens, this is a quick, convenient way to reach exactly where needed. Takes minimal space and is right where you need it when needed. Very satisified.
Removes all but the most stubborn smudges and fingerprints safely. The brush end whisks away dust. Small enough to fit in your camera bag.
I used this on our Canon handheld camera. It cleaned off months-old children's fingerprint smudges after several cycles of cleaning as per directions.
Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning SystemThis is my first use of a lens pen of any sort. I haven't used it on my "L" glass yet, but probably will if I end up with a greasy print or water spots on it. This pen works well, but I wish they had put a cover on the brush end. However, based on lots of good feedback, and the low price, I decided to give it a try.I used it first on my viewfinder glass and LCD glass. I will be looking for a make-shift cover to pop over the brush end to keep it safe. I have a real issue with greasy "face" prints and "thumb" prints on my 50D LCD. I've read about them, but worried that ANYTHING that repeatedly came in to "brushing" contact with a camera lens might eventually pick up grit and scratch. For the most part, I shoot with a UV filter/protector cover on my "L" glass, and wouldn't hesitate to use this pen on such a filter.
This pen took immediate care of the "grease" with light rubbing. I then tried it on a cheaper lens of mine, and it really seemed to leave it crystal clear. It would be easy for contaminants to get to that end of the pen, and then for the user to inadvertently "wipe" the brush on a lens, and transfer the contaminant. Nice product, and I'll probably buy another to use on my eye glasses (and LCD screen/viewfinder) as I don't want to use the one for my lenses on ANYTHING but my lenses.
