Comments about Static Master Static-Master Brush 1":

I live in Western Colorado, and very low humidity is always an issue causing static electricity - meaning dust clings very well to lenses!I bought my Static Master 1C200 several years ago, and it is way overdue for replacement. The anti-static properties ceased to do the magic on my camera lenses quite some time ago. It has a replaceable cartridge with radioactive Polonium. This brush, when gently used on my lenses killed the static electricity that helped stubborn dust particles cling to the lens surface. But now the brush acts no different than a normal brush. I guess the Polonium has a VERY short half-life.So I come to Adorama to look for a new brush or replacement cartridge and about fell over in my chair at the price increase. These brushes WERE selling for around $18.00 - $20.00 just a few years ago. But, now I find that they are selling for [$] or $60.00 just for the replacement cartridge? You're telling me that the price is effectively [$] just for the plastic handled camel hair brush!While I loved mine when it worked, but they are supposed to be replaced or have the cartridge replaced about once a year. $20.00 to $25.00 I can handle, BUT [$]!!!!This brush appears to be made by Amstat Industries, Inc. I hope they are diversifying their product line, because they will not be selling many more of these at this price level.I have only found a few still available, so maybe they are already out of production. Go figure.I would like to reccomend this brush, but not at [$]!

I bought the brush to use in removing dust from slides in preparation of scanning. It does a good job and is especially useful for removing the static electrons by providing a stream of alpha particles. Of course this means the radioactive source has a limited shelf life whether it is used or not... I was shocked by the high price but would buy another when the need arises.

I use the product to remove the dust from slides and photos prior to scanning them. The brush works very well. Easily takes the dust and deposits off of the surface without any effort.
