Has anyone got any advice on a good lens blower and/or lens pen?

rocket one's seem to be popular, but i also need a lens cleaner as my good lady managed to get a lovely finger print on the lens..... :bang::bang:
not that impressed with her for that one...


Cheers

Yes Giottos Rocket. Its a bit big but you can blow dust of your sensor with it though. I like to use micro-fibre cloths for wiping off marks on lenses, but first make sure there is no grit etc. on lens.

As regards the lenses, I use a micro-fibre cloth that I "borrowed" from the wife which she got for cleaning her glasses :)

cool, got one of those myself, but didn't know whether it was suitable for camera lens.

Thanks :)

I use a lens cleaner solution and some lint free wipes that I got in a pack together.
cheapy blower does the trick for sensor and AF sensor dust

i got a rocket style blower and lens pen from jessops for xmas. i used the pen yesterday as i found a smear on my 18-50 rear element (no idea how that happened). anyway a microfibre didnt shift it but the pen worked wonders.
