    • I use this to clean my optic devices
This works for all my optics.

    • Nikon LensPen NLP-1 Disappointed with its poor performance removing "real" fingerprints.
Often, something appearing trendy and cool can fool us. This is especially true when a respected company like Nikon puts its name on a product. After you review our test procedures and results, you can decide for yourself whether NLP-1 LensPen is worth the money (and the potential risk to lens surfaces), despite the majority of pundits that have praised this device. If you've read this bio from another review, please skip it, no sense in boring you twice....For the record...My background after leaving the Military, as a photo wet lab instructor, with "several" hours of photo reconnaissance in the Far East, included a 20 year paid affiliation with a respected optical use and applications laboratory of a Fortune 50 Corporation. I am "retired" in Florida with a home grown photo testing lab and a reseller of Canon Gear. Although, they've been around for a few years, I recently purchased 6 genuine Lens Pens and 50 "genuine" counterfeits to run some performance tests and comparisons. The "fakes" are covered in a separate review. The ads for the genuine Lens Pen were always intriguing; a compact, 4 1/2" pen sized cleaning device, fits in your pocket, good for cleaning all lenses, filters, eyepieces, and according to their website, lasts long enough "to remove 500 fingerprints". Wow! All this from an "uncapped" retractable 1" by ½" synthetic bristle brush at one end, and a tiny screw capped ½" chamois pad, impregnated with carbon black, perched on a ½" flexible rubber platform at the other end. My first skepticism started with the brush. Retractable yes, but fully protected, no. Why no protective cap to cover the brush tips? The tips of the bristles, the most critical part of the brush, were left exposed inside the tube. The uncapped tips not only can pick up dirt, dust and lint in a shirt pocket or a camera bag (also mentioned by other reviewers), they do! In my opinion, this is a careless design, for a $6-8 item so highly touted. Secondly, the size of the ½" in diameter chamois "pad" (2/3rds the size of a dime) to clean common (D)SLR lenses having an average diameter of between 52mm and 77mm (2-3inches), (That's 4-6 X larger surface area than the pad itself), seemed to defy the laws of physics. Further, we are instructed by the LensPen Web Site NEVER to clean the pad with any cleaning solution, or even distilled water to remove the trapped soils collected from previous lens cleanings, allowing any soil residues to remain permanently on the tiny chamois pad or on the 1/2" X 7/16" foam plug the chamois pad rests against inside the tube. The LensPen's method of claimed "cleaning replenishment" comes from screwing the cleaning head back into the cap, which nests against a ½"x 7/16" foam "plug" lightly impregnated with carbon black. Just about now, I began to lose my objectivity. All I could think of was how this procedure reminded me of, after finishing a meal, having to put the dirty silverware back into the clean silverware drawer, and even worse, taking these same dirty utensils the next day and reusing them. Nevertheless, I decided to finish the evaluation to see just how many of my fingerprints could be removed, before the pad "quit" and started to streak. The LensPen ads and Web Site claim this device will last through 500 cleanings or long enough to remove "500" of their "laboratory generated fingerprints". Our test procedure was designed to be practical, and one you can run yourself, as follows: I rubbed the side of my nose with my forefinger and rubbed the sebum (skin oil) on to a 52mm filter, covering an area the diameter of my forefinger, approximately 10/16". The first attempt at removing this fingerprint with the Nikon LensPen NLP-1 went FLAWLESSLY...100% AS ADVERTISED, and done in under 10 seconds! The pad was then placed fully into its cap for carbon black "replenishment", and the above procedure, repeated.. This time, however, the second fingerprint removal took almost twice as long, as some smearing was evident. However, after about twenty seconds, the lens was again sparkling clean, even under 60x magnification. For the third time, the pad was once again placed fully into its cap for carbon black "replenishment", and the above procedure, repeated. This time, however, the filter surface never got clean. The filter surface remained, streaked and smudged, even after 3 more attempts to renew the pad by screwing the cap into the foam plug with the carbon black refresher. Conclusion....None yet! To be fair, we need to rerun the test using a different new Lens Pen, which BTW is the "new design" and genuine. The test was repeated with the new Lens Pen NLP-1. Results: exactly the same outcome, as the first. After the second wiping of the skin oil fingerprint, the Lens Pen could not clean streak free the third time. Finally, we let the pens "rest" for a day, and the next day, tried each one on a totally clean 52mm filter, without any soil to be removed. I rubbed the first pen lightly on the clean filter, and as you probably guessed, the pad left a streaked residue from the retained oils from the lenses "cleaned", the day before..... same results with the second pen on the second clean filter. Conclusion: 1. A bad batch of pens used for these tests?.. Not very likely this time, as this test was repeated a total of 6 times using 3 different vendor sources of NLP-1 LensPens. 2. The more likely conclusion is that the tiny Lens Pen cleaning pad could not absorb all the oil, and as a result, redeposited the unabsorbed oil right back on to the clean filter surface. My real concern, and perhaps yours as well, after this observation, was what if it wasn't just oil being re-deposited, but instead, retained micro grit from its previous use that could not only scratch the lens coating, but also scratch the lens itself? 3. In our test repetitions, the Lens Pen lasted through only TWO successive applications removing "real" fingerprints from skin oil, significantly underperforming the claim of "500" stated both in the LensPen ads and on the LensPen Web Site. However, on a relatively clean lens surface, or one with "laboratory generated finger prints", a new Lens Pen does a great job with no streaks. For that matter, under most circumstances, so will our breath and a clean split microfiber lens cloth or lens tissue. Summary: For a lens surface that "really" needs cleaning, the classic, but less cool and safer method, in our view, still prevails...Begin by blowing, and or BRUSHING FIRST with a clean, natural hair lens brush (100% goat hair), followed by a "boringly effective" disposable lens wipe, made by Zeiss or Nikon, or a clean brand name micro fiber cloth and a lens cleaner, made by Zeiss, Nikon, ROR or Kodak. It may not be trendy, but will always do the job thoroughly and safely. And, if you are one of those that faithfully cleans their micro fiber cloth after each use, you need never worry about redepositing residues from lenses cleaned previously with that same cloth, a claim that the newest NLP-1 model LensPen cannot match, as evidenced in the tests detailed above....Steve Copyright © Canon_Treasures 2013 all rights reserved ... show more

    • PAD FAILURE . . . BUT . . . QUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE!
I purchased the NLP-1 pen on 12/28/2021 to carefully clean my camera lenses and have only needed to use it three or four times. I opened the cap today and started to clean a lens. The round foam cleaning pad split right at the plastic base. I do not put any kind of hard pressure on my lenses. Although, until the break, I would have been a long time customer. I'm very disappointed with the pen. UPDATE 5-28-2022: LensPen has made contact and has requested a photo of the defect. They apologized, asked for my mailing address, and are sending me a replacement pen. It is GREAT to see a company with excellent customer service make a quick response to remedy what I hope was only a random issue. Kudos to LensPen! ... show more

    • LensPen NLP-1: Evolution improves the product
Like many others, I've been using LensPen products and their variants for a number of years. They've always proven to be reliable, easy ways to perform lens and filter maintenance while in the field. And sometimes when we see a product that claims to be better than previous versions, it's been a hollow promise. I was skeptical, but this LensPen NLP-1 lives up to the "new & improved" tag that appears on the upper right portion of the product. It's good enough so that this user will not go back to the older versions, as worthy as they've proven themselves in the past. Pros: + Compact, tight design; fits into the camera bag or pocket easily + Lens or filter is cleaned in ten seconds or less; fingerprints and dust are gone + Screw-on cap protects carbon cleaner; won't fall off in the pocket + Retractable dust removal brush; very handy and protects the brush + Carbon tip does a superb cleaning job; no fluids needed + Great price on an excellent product; very competitive + Carbon tip cleans in ten seconds; lives up to its claims Cons: - None encountered In Use: When my order for the LensPen NLP-1 came in, the first thing was to check and compare it with my old favorite Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System , which is also made by LensPen... check the cap. The NLP-1 is about a half inch shorter, but all of the good features of my old preference are still there. It has a new shape, and the screw-on cap is a welcome change. The retractable dust removal brush does an excellent job of eliminating general dust and the environmental residue that we seem to collect when we're out taking photos. But where this LensPen stands out is its use of the dry-carbon cleaning pad on the other end of this product. When I was a kid, we used to clean windows and mirrors with crumpled newspaper. Black printing is made with a carbon compound, and the carbon molecules have the capability of absorbing oils, grease and contaminants. It's the carbon that does the cleaning, and why the dry cleaning of this improved LensPen works as well as it does. But there are times when one needs to take further steps, such when I recently left my Nikon DSLR on a picnic table while having lunch, lens faced up. As luck (or fate) would have it, a seagull started his bombing run, and instead of my companion or me, he got my 35mm f/1.8G Nikkor lens smack in the middle of the UV filter. Did a superficial cleaning, and when I got home, I cleaned the "residue" off with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of good lens cleaner. I have both Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Spray Cleaner and Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner for such heavy duty cleaning instances. I have a five-year-old original LensPen that lost its cap years ago, so the next step was to use that with a drop of the lens cleaner on the filter surface, then the newer LensPen with the dry-carbon cleaning pad to finish the job. It sparkled. Summary: The LensPen NLP-1 is relatively inexpensive, and this with the other LensPen products are a very low cost way of maintaining your photo gear. It's new size and features are evolutionary of a well-design product in the first place, and fit quite easily into your pocket or even into the smallest camera bags. These would make a great gift for a photographer or anyone using field optics, and are usually quite appreciated. For the price and value received, they're highly recommended 5-star products for keeping your lenses and filers clean. 9/6/2012 ... show more
