Use A Lens Pen

You're on an Audubon chapter outing to nab some new birds, and your viewfinder captures a thumb print. Perhaps you're at a desert star party for some astronomical imaging, and sand has marred your lens. There's no time to lose with air blowers and cloths and bottles of cleaning solution. A lens pen gives you brush-and-wipe ability in one small package. Use a lens pen to clean all optical and digital lenses.


Instructions


Select a Lens Pen


1. Buy a regular lens pen for optical camera lenses and filters, binoculars, telescopes, spotting scopes, camcorders, rifle scopes, monoculars and night vision scopes.


2. Choose a mini lens pen for eyepieces, compact digital lenses and microscopes.


3. Select an instrument-specific lens pen for use with digital camera sensors, digital camera glass and cell phone camera lenses.


4. Purchase a camouflage lens pen for wildlife observation or hunting.
