Here's the LensPen

My next purchase after the bag in KLPF was this Lenspen! I'd placed my eye on this long time ago but because of no free shipping if just buy the lenspen, I've decided to forego this. But i saw it in KLPF! Great! no need to ship to me, I can just buy now!

How much is it? Surprisingly cheap! RM30! Even thought you could get them at RM27 in yamiya.com.my but like I said, no free shipping for purchases below RM100, hence, RM27 may be more expensive than what i'd paid for in KLPF.

But, bear in mind, LensPen is not intended for permanent usage. According to its manufacture's claim, you could use it for only 500 times. Which i think, is worth for RM30!

But you might ask, aren't micro-fiber cleaning cloth good enough? Well, the answer is yes, but to a certain extend only. Indeed, that micro-fiber cloth does a good job in cleaning lenses, but its durability is not as long as you might think. After some prolonged usage, such cloth tends to trap too much foreign matters such as dust or dirt, when it couldn't hold, the cloth tends not to trap such matters anymore unless, you wash it.

Whereas, Lenspen does not only trap dust like micro-fiber cloth does, but it replenish its performance with just half a twist of the cap. The secret lies inside the cap. I'm unsure what is it inside, but i assume its some sort of sponge like material covered with carbon. Like newspapers, carbon could clean oily finger prints and that's how lenspen works!

Not only Lenspen does a better cleaning job, but it does it really fast! Once I used Lenspen,my lenses is what I would call, cleanest of all time!! Oh, it does comes with a brush too!!

Here are the pictures!

Just a light push, the brush will come out. I'm not very sure if this is an anti static brush, but its rather soft to my opinion. According to the instruction, you must use this brush to sweep off dirts before using the other end to clean the lens. Make sense, there would be a risk of scratches if in any event, hard dirts got tray under the cleaning head.

This is the heart of the lenspen. I assume its made out of suede leather material, as I find similarity to suede. I dare not touch it, as it make affect its performance. Behind there, it is the cap. After using the lenspen, you should place the cap back and give it half a twist to replenish it.

Clean, clear, oil free lens in just few simple step! Highly recommended!
