Title: Recommended camera accessory
Review: The Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System is a compact and effective tool designed to help photographers maintain their camera lenses in pristine condition. The pen features a dual-ended design: one end has a soft, retractable brush for removing loose dust and debris, while the other end has a cleaning tip with a special carbon compound to gently remove fingerprints, smudges, and other marks from the lens surface. Its small, portable size makes it convenient for on-the-go cleaning, and it’s safe for all types of camera lenses. The Nikon 7072 Lens Pen is an affordable and essential accessory for keeping your gear clean without damaging delicate surfaces.I would recommend anyone with professional camera to someone with just a phone for photography or filming

Title: Nikon Lens Pen: Keepin’ it clean…
Review: Lens pens such as this Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System are quite handy and great for field use, but they can be misunderstood. Think of these as a brush for removing debris from the front of the lens or the filter with a small cleaning pad at the other end, and you’ll be closer to what they are. I’ve had a few of these under different brand names, but they all seem to function the same way.In Use:The main thing to remember is that the lens brush portion of this device is the essential tool to remove dust and debris from your filter or front lens surface while in the field. It should be used gently, just dusting off any debris or dust that you may find on the lens. I use protective UV filters on each of my DSLR lenses, but most compact digital cameras don’t have the option of using these. Most of the compact point-and-shoot cameras have protective louver blades, and the lens retracts behind these when the camera is turned off. In that case, dust or debris could be trapped behind the protective blades, so it’s doubly important with these compact cameras to dust off any debris before powering off.The retractable brush slides out for use quite easily, and it’s quite soft. You may be tempted to touch the brush, but it’s suggested that this be avoided, as your fingers may leave oils on the brush tip, and then you may find that it leaves streaks on the lens or filter surface, which will result in it needing further cleaning.At the other end is a capped cleaning pad for removing smudges and fingerprint marks from the end of your lens. This part should be employed only after you’ve used the brush portion to clean dust or debris from the filter or lens surface. If you rub too hard and dust residue is still present, it can leave small or microscopic scratches on the multicoated lens surface, and that’s not something you want. Just remember: brush first, then wipe, and you should be OK.Alternative Products:As noted earlier, there is a variety of similar devices available here. The AmazonBasics Lens Pen Cleaning System is a good one, and it has slightly different features. The original LensPEN Lens Cleaning System, where most these had their beginnings, is a proven product, and there’s a newer version, the LensPen NLP-1, which is more compact than its predecessors. If you look around here, you’ll find other brands as well, so compare the features and the prices, as they do fluctuate.Additional Cleaning Remedies:Anyone with a digital camera knows that it’s almost impossible to keep the LCD display screen clean and free of fingerprints. One can get the various clear film screen protectors, only to find within a few days or weeks they will fall off, or they’ll be the type that are sticky, and leave a gummy residue all over the back of your camera. There are some made of ultra-thin optical glass “with at least 90% transmittance” but some of those also require gummy tape to be applied to the LCD screen or the rear of the camera.I don’t clean the LCD screen on any of my digital cameras with any part of the lens pen. I use the Nikon 8072 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, which is the same thing that I use on my eyeglasses, and there’s one that’s attached to my camera bag right now. The main reason is that all too often there will be additional fingerprints or even “nose grease” on the LCD surface, and I’ve found it better to not let this contaminate the lens surface. When at home, I’ll usually use the larger Nikon MicroKlear Microfiber Cleaning Cloth for general maintenance. What they don’t tell you is that the microfiber cleaning cloth is washable, so I’ve had years of use from these.Summary:These products are all relatively inexpensive, and are a low cost way of maintaining your photo gear. The Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System and the others mentioned here are quite compact, and fit quite easily into even small camera bags. Any of these would make a great gift for a photographer or anyone using field optics, and are usually quite appreciated. They’re highly recommended for keepin’ it clean.9/3/2012

Title: Terrific for on the go cleaning
Review: I’ve been using various cleaning cloths from Adorama and Etsumi. They all get quite dirty with a lot of outdoor use because I clean my lenses very regularly. I work outside in nearly all weather conditions shooting with four lenses – that’s what I do 99% of the time. The Nikon Pen is pretty terrific in my view though i doubt it has a very long life on either of its working ends.Cleaning the back glass of my lenses is done under a very well lit architect’s lamp that uses large magnifying glass just above four small florescent bulbs. I do my best to have a grease, dirt and dust free cloth to do that, The pen, in the short run, works even better, though I didn’t use any cleaning fluid – I generally include that with the cleaning cloth efforts.I have a Nikon D7000 that needs to have the viewfinder and live-view screen cleaned as well. The pen isn’t right for that,excepting the brush, though that has little value beyond light dust removal. I have no idea whether the main cleaning tip might leave light damage to the Live View screen or not. I think the screen is plastic – though frankly it shouldn’t be.For those that have said they find a “ghost residue” I’m sure that’s true. I’m glad they did because it caused me to use a 2″X2″ cleaning tissue that one can buy in bulk for next to nothing. I wiped the business end of the round cleaning tip across the tissue, gently and evenly enough to dislodge an obvious amount of built up grease along with the residual “schmutz” from daily exposure to Manhattan’s never-clean air. I couldn’t believe how much “dark matter” showed up on the otherwise untouched tissue. I repeated the process on the now-clean lens and it left no dark marks on the next tissue. I.e., the pen was not shedding any of the rubber tip’s compound onto the paper – only the dirt that was originally on the lens. This is very handy; being able to clean the cleaner is a nice touch. After de-greasing the cleaning tip of the Nikon Pen, it cleaned my other lenses as well as any cloth, and did so more rapidly and with less pressure. I never used any fluid either. That in itself is a pleasure.Cons – mine came only with instructions in Nipponese. Sorry, I lose it with the Greek alphabet, much less the complex Japanese symbols. However, Nikon drops the ball by having no cap on the brush end of the pen; the brush has a push pull/in out device on the side of the pen. With no top, if the pen is not firmly in place when being carried around, the brush may well come out some or all of the way. Since the opposite end’s cleaning tip has a snap on cap, why not one for the brush end? No matter where you carry it (I put it in an inside pocket) with that end open the tip of the brush for now is going to accumulate its own dust and will then need some sort of “blow out” or a new pen! Bad idea.Pro beyond the review – it came with a free hand squeezed air blower. Though not as good as the my Buck Rogers look alike version its good enough to dislodge dust, if not larger particles, that the brush can’t get to.Certainly a worthy alternative due to its compactness, good lens cleaner and its wonderfully cheap price.

Review: Cet accessoire ne paye pas de mine (désolé pour le jeu de mot) mais il est exceptionnel. Madame a nettoyé tous les objectif facilement sans aucun problème, et le résultat est parfait. Pour nous qui avions peur pour nos objectif et qui n’avions jamais acheté de filtre ou de verre protecteur, ce stylo a redonné un coup de jeunesse à nos 3 objectifs ! Simple, efficace, pratique, peu encombrant, pas cher, que dire de plus.

Review: Der Nikon Lens Pen Reinigungsstift ist meiner Meinung nach ganz praktisch habe ihn jedoch auch noch nicht oft in gebrauch gehabt. Was ich jedoch sagen kann ist, dass er für den Preis die Linse eigentlich ganz gut reinigt. Weiss allerdings auch nicht ob es nicht noch bessere Produkte giebt da ich nur ein einfacher Hobby Fotograf bin.
