Review: LensPen NLP-1: Evolution improves the product - Like many others, I've been using LensPen products and their variants for a number of years. They've always proven to be reliable, easy ways to perform lens and filter maintenance while in the field. And sometimes when we see a product that claims to be better than previous versions, it's been a hollow promise. I was skeptical, but this LensPen NLP-1 lives up to the "new & improved" tag that appears on the upper right portion of the product. It's good enough so that this user will not go back to the older versions, as worthy as they've proven themselves in the past. Pros: + Compact, tight design; fits into the camera bag or pocket easily + Lens or filter is cleaned in ten seconds or less; fingerprints and dust are gone + Screw-on cap protects carbon cleaner; won't fall off in the pocket + Retractable dust removal brush; very handy and protects the brush + Carbon tip does a superb cleaning job; no fluids needed + Great price on an excellent product; very competitive + Carbon tip cleans in ten seconds; lives up to its claims Cons: - None encountered In Use: When my order for the LensPen NLP-1 came in, the first thing was to check and compare it with my old favorite Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System , which is also made by LensPen... check the cap. The NLP-1 is about a half inch shorter, but all of the good features of my old preference are still there. It has a new shape, and the screw-on cap is a welcome change. The retractable dust removal brush does an excellent job of eliminating general dust and the environmental residue that we seem to collect when we're out taking photos. But where this LensPen stands out is its use of the dry-carbon cleaning pad on the other end of this product. When I was a kid, we used to clean windows and mirrors with crumpled newspaper. Black printing is made with a carbon compound, and the carbon molecules have the capability of absorbing oils, grease and contaminants. It's the carbon that does the cleaning, and why the dry cleaning of this improved LensPen works as well as it does. But there are times when one needs to take further steps, such when I recently left my Nikon DSLR on a picnic table while having lunch, lens faced up. As luck (or fate) would have it, a seagull started his bombing run, and instead of my companion or me, he got my 35mm f/1.8G Nikkor lens smack in the middle of the UV filter. Did a superficial cleaning, and when I got home, I cleaned the "residue" off with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of good lens cleaner. I have both Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Spray Cleaner and Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner for such heavy duty cleaning instances. I have a five-year-old original LensPen that lost its cap years ago, so the next step was to use that with a drop of the lens cleaner on the filter surface, then the newer LensPen with the dry-carbon cleaning pad to finish the job. It sparkled. Summary: The LensPen NLP-1 is relatively inexpensive, and this with the other LensPen products are a very low cost way of maintaining your photo gear. It's new size and features are evolutionary of a well-design product in the first place, and fit quite easily into your pocket or even into the smallest camera bags. These would make a great gift for a photographer or anyone using field optics, and are usually quite appreciated. For the price and value received, they're highly recommended 5-star products for keeping your lenses and filers clean. 9/6/2012
Review: Great product - Works great. It is compact, versatile on all optics, and definitely wipe off smudges, dust and finger prints. The lens is clear after without any micro scratches. Highly recommended and a necessity for your range bag if you use optics.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone explain the difference between this and the original LensPen, which I have and use?  Does some feature make it worth buying the new version?**
A: Same pen. Just a different look.

**Q: Does this work well for eyeglasses?**
A: Yes, it works swimmingly....

**Q: Is this safe to use on ALL filters??  On one of the other product pages for this brand, it said not to use it polarizing filters.**
A: it is safe

**Q: Can I use this to clean the DSLR camera's mirror and sensor? (My Nikon D7100 has some dust on the sensor that can't be blown away with an Air Blaster)**
A: Sensor: Yes. it is safe to use to clean the glass covering the sensor. LensPen even has specific version for using on sensors that are shaped to help reach the corners.Mirror: NO. NO. NO. It is not safe to use on the coated glass surface of the mirror. You should never touch the mirror for two reasons: 1) The coating is very delicate and can be scratched/rubbed off very easily. Blow any dust off with a quality air blower. Beyond that you really should take it to a properly equipped professional with specialty tools.2) The entire mirror assembly is very delicate and easy to push out of proper alignment. This will affect the framing of the scene you see in your viewfinder as well as wreck both manual and autofocus ability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm
*by T***A on September 28, 2024*

I’ve always used Lenspen to lightly dust off and clean when the inevitable smudge or dirt gets on the lens. I’ve mostly gone with UV filters now but these are still great at cleaning them off. Nice compact size makes it easily portable and the build quality makes it last until the charcoal ends eventually wear out. Definitely a must have for photographers.
