Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System

This is my second Lens Pen, and I like it a lot. It is convenient having the brush at one hand to get rid of dust particles before using the soft felt to clean the lenses.

I read a few of the reviews, and I get the concern with the "dark" stuff, but I think that is just a fine powder used for "lubrication" so the material does not scratch the lens (my guess, I don't know for sure). Certainly I do not see any residue on the lens, nor do I discern any performance degradation in light gathering or clarity.

I used to carry fluids and cleaning tissues, but it was always a pain to clean a lens on-site. These allow for quick removal of dust (brush) and smudges (the felt end). When the instructions are followed it works very well, and very quickly. When I travel it's all I use, and in fact I have not used liquid cleaners on any of my lenses for a number of years now.

I would recommend this to anyone who is fussy about their lenses. By the way, when I used to use filters, I noticed these don't work nearly as well. I'm guessing it has to do with the design of the cleaning end; it works much better on the slightly curved lens glass than on a completely flat surface. If you use filters, you may not be happy with this product.

I love this thins. It does everything it is advertised to do. Great cleaning tool for smudges. Enjoy it.

Excellent pen, fits in my bag well and helps keep the dust and dirt off the lens. Worth the $$

It does the trick. Although you might get a cheaper version from another manufacturer, I went with Nikon...

Very useful, lowcost, well integrated & easy to carry. Not sure how lasting it is.
