LensPen Reviewed

[Nick]

I am pretty sure you can buy one(dont know wich) of their products at your local RadioShack(US).
I saw one in their camera section while walking through the mall the other day.

Any chance this will fit through the aperture hole on the front of a laser? My DX has some crud on the lens and I cant take the cap off to get at it...

It will NOT fit through the hole on the DX. You have to pull the cap off in order to get to it. To do that take a peice of wood. Drill a hole in it the same size as the laser head. take that peice of wood and cut it in half through the center of the circle. Now place the two peices of wood around the laser cap and put the wood in a vice to hold it still. with it tightened you can now pull and twist the cap off. If you cannot, use a pair of pliers with a rubber band around the laser and hold onto the laser the rubber bands under the pliers and spin twist.

hope this helps.

The newer DX NewWish lasers have an aperture big enough to fit the LensPen Micro and the CellKlear.    My DX30 has never been happier.

The heads on the micro versions are 6mm so they will fit into all lasers easily

cant seem to find a "microPRO"
do you guys mean "miniPRO"?

They are both identical lenspens

 

[me_too_lazy]

so would the mini be suitable for lasers?

 

[Gazoo]

I ordered the combo since it is 30% off, and I have uses for the larger lenspen..

I can't find the link for the MICROpro lens pen - I did find the MINIpro link fine. Watching the cleaning video and looking at the pictures it appears the MICRO lenspen is different than the MINI... where's the link to it?

Thanks.

EDIT.. Duh, I found it. Going blind from using my lasers too much

Yay - I found a local camera company the sells nearly all the lenspen products, including the micro. It was cheaper than the online price also. I try to support local companies if I can. You definitely want the micro lenspen for cleaning lasers - even then the tip may be too large for some lasers.

It works like a champ - those nanite carbon cleaning particles do the trick - no tissue or lens cleaners, which often leaves behind a residue. Earlier I'd attempted to clean the diode cans window on one of my pointers and ended up making the scatter worse - it had a really bad halo of speckle around the spot. I just couldn't get rid of it using lens paper. Using the lens pen I was able to effectively clean the diode's window and get rid of nearly all the scatter.
