LensPEN Lens Cleaning System

July 27th, 2009

lenspensThe LensPen is a great utility to help keep your camera lenses clean. The LensPen is a double-sided cleaning tool in the shape of a pen. One side contains an extractable brush for dusting the lens. The other end of the LensPen contains a cleaning tip that contains a chemical cleaning solution which is released when it is rubbed against the lens surface. It also has a clip like any other pen so you can clip it to your shirt if you want to.

Even with the cleaning solution long used up, the cleaning tip still works great to remove smudges from the lens surface. LensPen claims to be safe for all lens and their coatings.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

June 29th, 2009

iris1My husband uses a Canon 30D and is an amateur photographer who has won awards for his photos. He just broke down and bought this new lens and LOVES it.

He is just amazed at how sharp the image is. I had him give me one of his photos to use here. Take a look at this iris, the one in front.    (The rear one is purposely blurred.)  You can see every line, every fold.  You can even see the white fluffy cottonwood clinging to it.

He can’t believe he waited as long as he did to buy it.
