Looking for a Gift for Dad or Grad? LensPen Has the Answer
OutdoorHub 05.16.13
LensPen has the perfect gift for the dad or grad on your shopping list – one they’re sure to appreciate as it keeps their optics clean and sharp. For more than 20 years, LensPen has been the name photographers and other tech lovers have counted on to remove fingerprints from lenses, filters and screens.
No matter which type of camera is used – from DSLR to smartphone – there is a LensPen for the job. Use the Original LenPen for full-sized lenses on DSLRs and four-thirds cameras. For the tiny lenses on tablets and smartphones, use MicroPro. The flat surface of the FilterKlear is designed to clean lens filters.
All three feature two working ends: a retractable natural brush on one end for removing loose dust and a carbon-impregnated cleaning tip on the other for removing fingerprints from the optics surface. The carbon compound used in LensPen products is similar to the one found in printer’s ink – which is why newspapers have remained a popular method for cleaning windows and glass for generations. They’re available individually, or packaged together, along with a microfiber pouch in the LensPen DSLR Pro Kit.
And if a tablet or smartphone is the camera of choice, remember the touchscreen!
“When we introduced the original LensPen, it was designed to remove dust and to safely and effectively remove the occasional fingerprint from lenses and other fine optics,” said Ryan Keating, vice president of marketing for the LensPen Group. “With the introduction of the iPad a few years ago, touching glass was no longer a mistake or accident; it’s how the product is used. We knew our carbon technology was the perfect solution.”
Use SideKick to remove fingerprints and grease from tablet screens, and SmartKlear to keep smartphone screens clean. Both feature larger, thicker carbon-impregnated cleaning pads, specially designed for larger surfaces. Replacement cleaning pads for Sidekick and SmartKlear are also available.
