I'm waiting or Mike Johstone >at Photographic Techniques magazine to get back to me on tests he's going to >conduct on them. Although I didn't conduct a rigorous test I found the Lens Pen to be very effective. A very soft brush on one end will remove any loose particles and grit. The soft cup on the other end then picks up residue. It seems to have some sort of black powder embedded in a soft suede cup. The black powder is very very fine and any of it left on there can be easily brushed off. It seemed to do an excellent job of cleaning, but I've never used it on a really grimy lens (I try not to let them get that way!). -Charlie Charles E. Dunlap Earth Sciences Dept.
