good product

The rocket blower is what I bought the kit for and it performs as expected. The lens pen and microfiber cloth were more of a bonus. Why get just the rocket blower when you can get it and a few other items for cheaper?More detail ...

Love this!

I love this cleaning set. The pen is great for quick cleaning like a little dust or salt water on the lens. EVen the accidental finger print. And the cleaning paper is great for further cleaning without lint. I do find the felt cleaning cloth does leave lint behind. I use it more for the outer parts of the camera and maybe sometimes the view finder on my nikon D60. There were some extra items that were unnecessary and sit in my camera drawer for possible future use. I do not need two brushes or pump blowers. But I may someday. We can always use extra right?!?More detail ...

Warning - Cleaning Cloth Not for Cameras

Unfortunately they don't list this on the Amazon.com description but on the box it warns that the MicroFiber Cleaning Cloth is "Not recommended for high quality lenses." I bought this thinking I'd have an extra cleaning cloth for my SLR lens but it looks like it'll be used for its intended use as described by the instruction leaflet: "For cleaning the HOUSINGS of digital cameras photo equipment etc."More detail ...

The only lens cleaning tool I keep with me

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. More detail ...

Best lens cleaner on the market

I have the Nikon Lens Pen Cleaning System which I purchased for a fast easy way to clean my lens however this system is much more effective. The cleaner is phenomenal and the pre-moistened cloths that come with the package are easy to use and very effective. Very compact and at 4in x 2 1/2 the cleaner can tag along in my Crumpler with no problem. All of the dust particles I've had on my camera from the Nikon Lens Pen Cleaning System have been picked up completely by the Nikon Complete Lens Cleaner Kit I'm back to crystal clear pictures again.

HUGE but a huge help

I bought this product after finding multiple spots on my photos.



The best way to test if you have dust on your camera's sensor is to set your f-value very high such as f-22 and take picture of the sky or a bright piece of paper. Dust usually only appears in your photos at smaller apertures. You should be able to see most blotches clearly if you do the test right.



Anyway this thing did the job perfectly. I know how sensitive camera sensors are and am a little hesitant about using the "wet" method. And besides this is much cheaper. All you do is go into a dust free room (bathroom worked for me) take off your lens set your camera to mirror lock-up mode stick the little red tube into the lens bay and give it a few blows. Wait about 5 seconds after each blow to allow the dust to fall out. Just make sure you do this is a room free of moisture. Then you just pop the lens back on and take another test shot.



It also works great for taking dust off your lenses off of your camera out of your computer keyboard or really anything.



The only cons I can think of are that it is too big to fit in my camera bag and that it is loud. But it is still well worth the money and five stars. More detail ...

Good but not size described

2006 Amazon states;

Product Dimensions: 13.0 x 10.0 x 7.0 inches





There was no photo (until I uploaded one) so I thought this was the size stated but turned out to be one of the little keychain bags with about a 5x5 cloth inside.



Works fine just not what I thought it was and didn't want someone else to think it was large also. See my photo for actual size next to some keys.



Update 4/8/2006



I see they added a photo of what I THOUGHT I was getting when I ordered.. see my uploaded photo in "customer" photos to see what they sent.





Edit 03/12/2008



Been used and washed many many times now and still doing a good job. I keep it on my belt loop every day so outside bag is showing a bit of shine in spots and is a bit lighter in color now but micro fiber inside is like new. Was a good $5 purchase.



Edit 07/29/2008



Looks like they have the original info problem replaced at this point in time...



Now there are new dimensions listed but my old cloth still measures

7 x 5.5 inches.

Did they narrow it to 2.5 inches or is it another typo ?

I'd bet on another typo.



and since I'm here... weight on digital postal scale is 0.2 ounces ready to use 8-)



Yes still working well and washed even more times...

just so you know I use it for my plastic eye glasses not my camera lenses. Looking through the DSLR view finder in hot weather pushes my glasses into my face and makes a mess.. when shooting I keep this cloth clipped high on the neck strap ready for fast action before next shot. Needs washing after each day of use in Summer heat.
