Even Better Than Expected, January 7, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised by this item. I thought it would do a decent job but that I'd have to rely on wet wipes, spray and microfiber clothes to get a perfect, glare-free clean... but this thing rocks! Get rid of the big stuff with the brush and then clear away any smudges or oils with the specially formulated squeegee-deal. Truely crystal-clear.
I thought I'd ruined the thing when I was trying to clean saltwater off of my lens filter because it continued to be smudged. I just cleaned the filter with wet cleaner, then went back to the cleaning tip and it was perfect yet again!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The cleaning pen is a favorite in my family. We currently own 3, and between us, have carried them to every continent.
The brush is retractable, so the bristles don't get mangled after a while, and the polishing tip lasts a long time (my brother has had his for 5 years now).
The only issue we might consider mentioning is that there is no (optional?) cap for the brush, because in very dusty environments, dust will sometimes get up there.

tiny tool has utility for many reasons, November 20, 2008

Beware the word "SYSTEM" in the product title. It is not a "system". It is a quick and effective means of removing many smudges and lint from viewfinders, mirrors, and some lenses. It is not a one stop shop tool to clean your expensive glass.
* the tiny tip is great for point and shoot viewfinder glass: it gets in the corners
* brush stays lint free
* i use it to clean the mirror of my DSLRs with great effect
* TIP: buy some cheap-o canned Air Duster (Memorex 3 8oz. can pack costs ~$15 and lasts for months with half a dozen cameras) and carefully blow off your glass and internals (hold camera upside down) do remove dust
* avoid any kind of wipes, microfiber cloths, chemicals (except "Invisible Glass Professional") for your optical glass investments. When using Invisible Glass always use a brand new (not washed and reused) microfibre chamois guaranteed to be lint and particle free. Don't do this often, and always make sure you blast off the glass with Air Duster to remove the hard particles first.
Otherwise this pen is a great little tool for small jobs. Just use common sense and don't ruin your glass.
