I've never cleaned my lens pen too. Not sure how to do it. If it's a cheap one, just replace it? Oil is hard to clean, right?
Never own any lenspen. I used my breath and micro-fiber cloth to clean my filter. Becos i always leave the filter screw on my lens.
catchlights said:many people still unable to accept lenspen as an effective cleaning tool,
anyway, if it doesn't work, it should be long gone, and you won't able to find it anywhere.
slightly OT, do you guys use your lens pen to clean filters when they're dirty?
have a few lens pens but haven't tried using them yet.
TIA.

Yes why not. but if you have heavy dirt like went to beach, jungle :sweat:, factories. Do use the blower first and use the cloth to remove any large particles first before using the lens pen.
If you go ahead without blower, you may scratch your lens as the dirt may be trapped in the lens pen.
If you go ahead while your lens is heavily covered wth oily particles or dirt you end up using the lens pen once and have to discard it cuz too much dirt for a small lens pen to handle.
My 2 cents
Yes, of cos. Fingerprints, hair, particles, dust. Use the lens pen. easy and convenient to bring. Both the brush and duster is good to use.
thanks guys! bought 3 pens but always very careful with my lenses so haven't got the chance to try them out yet.
will use them soon!
thanks again!
just curious, do you guys use lens pen to clean the front lcd and top lcd display panels? :think:
