Compact and effective
Fits perfectly in my jacket pocket. I took this on a hiking trip and it handled the dust and morning dew spots on my lens with ease. Highly recommend for outdoor photographers.

Better than liquid cleaners
I was skeptical about dry cleaning powder, but this NiSi pen is fantastic. No risk of dripping fluid into the lens elements. It cleared up a stubborn spot on my UV filter instantly.

Great value, works well
Does exactly what it says. It's much better than using a microfiber cloth which sometimes just smudges the oil around. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the cap feels a bit loose, but it hasn't fallen off yet.

Good for maintenance
Works great for regular maintenance. Just remember to use the brush first to remove grit so you don't scratch the glass. The carbon tip lasts a long time if you don't press too hard.

Professional quality
As a wedding photographer, I need reliable gear. This pen has saved me multiple times during shoots when I noticed smudges on the front element. Quick, clean, and no mess.

Essential for every camera bag
This little pen is a lifesaver. I use it daily to clean my mirrorless lens before shooting, and the carbon tip removes fingerprints without leaving any residue. The brush side is perfect for dusting off loose particles first.
Q: Does this leave any powder residue behind?
A: No, the activated carbon powder is bonded to the felt tip and transfers minimally to lift oils. Any microscopic residue is easily wiped away with the included brush or a blower.
Q: Can this be used on coated lenses without damaging the coating?
A: Yes, the NiSi Lens Cleaning Pen is safe for all multi-coated lenses and filters. The activated carbon is fine enough to clean without scratching or stripping coatings when used gently.
Q: How do I know when the carbon tip needs replacing?
A: The tip does not need replacing under normal use; it is designed to last for hundreds of cleans. If the tip becomes visibly dirty or loses effectiveness after extensive use, the entire pen is affordable enough to replace.
Q: Is the brush retractable?
A: No, the brush is fixed on one end and the cleaning tip is on the other, both protected by a sliding cap mechanism to keep them clean when not in use.
Q: Will this work on smartphone camera lenses?
A: Absolutely! The fine tip is excellent for smaller glass surfaces like smartphone cameras, smartwatch screens, and eyeglasses as well.
