I also use them for getting loose dust off SLR mirrors and off the deep seated rear lements of some lenses. We live close to a cement works and the ultra-fine dust gets everywhere no matter how dustproof my storage cabinets are. Here are some links to testimonials about visible dust and the Arctic Butterfly http://www.visibledust.com/reviews_pros.php Not sure whether you can always trust testimonials on a manufacturer's site, but here are plenty, most of which appear to be quite serious. If the Canon Pro Network thinks it's good, who am I to complain :-) .
