Comments about Lenspen Lenspen Sensor Klear, Flexible / Retractable Cleaning Compound Pen for CCD Sensors:

I had a large particle of dust that was noticeable during long exposures and shots taken at f13-f22+. The bulb blower or internal camera sensor cleaning was not working to remove the particle.I was a bit hesitant to try cleaning my own sensor, as the camera was quite expensive. However, figuring that if I was going to have it professionally cleaned, another [$] wasn't going to matter much.The product worked as advertised. As far as I can tell, there is no residue present, I didn't smear anything, and nothing has been scratched.

This is a great travel item for cleaning your sensor easily on the field, and gets enough fine dust to barely see anything up to F11 or F16. It is in between an air blower and a liquid swab cleaning. If you want a %100 cleaning this only moves around super fine clingy particles that a liquid would otherwise clean off. (@ F32 you can check) I would use this to generally maintain dust levels until a thorough liquid cleaning is needed.

I will let you guys know about the product once I used it. But I know for sure it will help me in cleaning my sensor.

i bought on the recommendation of a photgrapher friend of mine. i didn't think that it was gonna work very well, but i was wrong. it is remarkable at picking up dust spots on a sensor. i use a light and magnifier (visible dust briteview sensor loupe) to find the spots and then use this product to clean them off my sensor. this is often good enough to clean the sensor. i also use the sensor swabs from photographic solutions. i don't have any dust spots even when shooting landscape shots with very small apertures like f/16 or f/22.

Although not a substitute for a major "wet cleaning", it does a great job of removing sticky particles that an air blower leaves behind. Regular use of an air blower, plus ocasional use of the Sesnor Klear pen means that you'll rarely need to do a full wet cleaning.

I have only used this once, to clean off my D700 sensor in the field. Was VERY careful, it removed dust bunny and saved a lot of PP.

I used the SensorKlear on a very dirty D80 sensor. While I successfully removed dust using a blower several times in the past, this method was totally inefficient this time.[...]I went for the SensorKlear. It is very easy to use, never seemed risky to me, and it successfully removed those 20 sticky dust particles on the sensor, which is now nice and clear. Given the price tag, What more can I say?

Just used this to clean the sensor on a Nikon D700, it saved me from doing a wet cleaning. Very convenient, can use it out in the field.

The Lenspen Sensor Klear is a cheap, easy to use and allowed-on-planes cleaning solution.

Cleaning a camera sensor (the filter infront of it actually) its a tricky business, if you dont feel secure enough to do it, dont do it.

However, if you feel up to it, you will come across a great amount of options to do so, and depending on your skill and experience, you may cause a wreck with any of them.

Using this item makes the task of cleaning a sensor easy and safe too. The carbon compound of which the tip is made will absorb liquids in the sensor and get rid of the sticky dust that a blower wont get rid of.

It's size its like a normal pen, so it wont take space in your bags and it wont be restricted on planes.

The cleaning tip is designed to let you reach the sensor corners easily, not to mention is flexible and replaceable.

Read the instructions first before using it, and remember, the brush DOESNT clean the sensor, the tip does. The brush is to clean the lens mount, lens contacts and the rear element of the lens if its dirty. And whatever you do, DO NOT PRESS HARD WITH THIS ITEM ON THE SENSOR, otherwise you will move it from its place and that will be a huge problem.

As long as you follow the instructions on the back of the packaging or the video of how to use it found in the Lenspen official site, you will be fine.

If you're looking for a simple to use, cheap and portable solution to clean a sensor, this is the item youre looking for.

Confusing to use if you are new to cleaning sensor. There is a learning curve on how to use it properly, once you know, it's easy. Applying to much pressure can damage your sensor. Website has poor instruction on how to use it properly, video clip is more for promotional. Sensor brush like visible dust is safer to use.

Really works. I've been using these for about a year and I'm impressed. Clean up with liquid is sometimes necessary. The pen is so easy and fast that I'll usually just patch out the one or two spots that are short of perfection.

I hadn't cleaned my sensor since buying my camera last spring! I know, I know, NOT a good idea, but it wasn't giving me grieve until now. My husband says I research stuff too much, but I think knowledge is power. I read and I liked! This product not only cleaned my sensor easily, it was easy for me to understand from the directions HOW to do it! I was impressed!

Invaluable tool! Cleans sensor quickly and safely a must for active outdoor shooters.

It's simple to use but hard to master. It took me a few passes to get my sensor cleaned. Afterward, there's still a few stubborn spots. But it works.

Comments about Lenspen Lenspen Sensor Klear, Flexible / Retractable Cleaning Compound Pen for CCD Sensors:

Simple and easy to use. I've had my camera a bit over a year, and I was seeing dust even at f11 so I knew I needed to clean the sensor, and it worked like a charm. I had a bigger lens pen already, but this size works well for sensors and maybe viewfinders or small P&S lenses.

I was a bit apprehensive to use this, but after trying it I've recommended it to every photo-friend I've talked with. Instructions were quite easy to follow, and result was perfect, though it did take two cleanings to remove all the spots. I highly reccomend this product!
