Lens Cleaning

Lens Cleaning can be a pain in the butt, although very necessary if you want to take good pictures that do not have lens smudges in them. I recently purchased the lens pen which is a carbon based lens cleaning tool. The lens pen comes in a variety of sizes, but the original lens pen and mini are good choices for most cleaning uses on camera lenses. They are great because they use carbon to remove oily smudges/fingerprints and dust which gives a long use time of the lens pen. The other great reason of this product using carbon is that you can keep this in your camera bag and not have to worry about the product freezing, melting, or dripping. the pens also have a retractable soft brush at the other end to brush away any loose carbon that could be on the lens. I purchased the Outdoor Pro Kit which includes the original Lens Pen and the mini along with a microfiber cloth (another great accessory to have), the antifog cloth, and a case to hold all the items. Check out their site and their products.
