Outstanding Value

I tend to buy a lot of USED lens filters online in large lots. Most of them are sold "as is" because they are very dirty and covered in grime. This cleaning kit works wonders and has save many, many outwardly looking useless filters! AND I happen to be a perfectionist, so this is a big deal.
There are some tips and tricks to getting a good method going. I find that some multi-coated lenses and filters can only be finished streak-free with the FogKlear cloth, like the Hoya HMC UV(C). Most are fine with the cleaning fluid and the LENS MICROFIBER cloth (the spudz one, the one in the carrying case with the pens is NOT FOR LENSES, and that is where the problems are being had with previous reviews), therefore I tend to start by trying this. If there is some grime or something sticking to the surface I use the LensPen to get this off, working it for about 5 to 10 secs in circular motions. Remember to turn the cap of the pen before taking it off to replenish the black cleaning compound on the tip. Some used lenses and filters are covered in grime from oil from fingerprints and mis-handling but most of these can still be saved, as long as there are not scratches into the surface of the glass, keep repeating the first and second step and you might find the multi-coat is still perfectly intact. If it isn't cleaning anymore because of streaks, then try the FogKlear cloth by breathing lightly on the surface and wiping away.
The rest is pretty self-explainatory. Even the stuff above is mostly in the instructions somewhere. Overall the value can't be beat as far as any cleaning supplies but especially for Nikon Branded products. I really enjoy that the cloths and pen come in a nice little case. I put the spudz cloth on one on the zippers of the case. Recommended. |
