Today’s Post by Joe Farace
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.—Robert Louis Stevenson
As many of you know, I’m an automobile enthusiast and, if you like cars, please visit my car photography website/blog. When I lived in Maryland, one of my car friends—let’s call him Bob, since that’s his name—once told me he believed that a clean car ran better and faster than a dirty one and while on the face of it that doesn’t seem likely, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
I feel the same way about clean cameras, which is why I use LensPen products on my camera lenses, LCD screens and viewfinders to clean dust and smudges that appear seemingly out of nowhere. Yes, LensPen is an advertiser on this blog but I’ve been using their products for almost thirty years, ever since Mary gave me my first LensPen in 1994 to use with my then-new Nikon N90s. Ever since then, I keep one in each of my camera bags and backpacks.
Let me tell you a story: When I was attending a photo walk at California’s Mission San Antonio de Padua several years ago (photo at left) one of the attendees saw me using a LensPen to clean my lens and asked to borrow it. Before long almost everyone there had borrowed my LensPen to clean their lenses. Good thing it can be used for more than 500 cleanings.
Lens Pen Bundles
Just in time for the holidays, LensPen has bundled several of their most popular products for cameras and drones to help with cleaning lenses, filters, eyepieces and sensors. These bundles complement the individual products and cleaning kits that photographers, like me, have counted on for more than thirty years. Right now, LensPen offers several bundles including:
Lens and Sensor Cleaning Bundle. ($55.95) This bundle is a complete lens, sensor and filter cleaning kit that includes a LensPen DSLR Pro Kit, a SensorKlear II pen for cleaning sensors on DSLR and mirrorless cameras and a Hurricane Blower.- Photo and Drone Bundle. ($42.95) This kit features a group of optic cleaners (shown at right) that are specifically designed to be used for drones and are packaged together in a bundle. The bundle includes a full DSLR Pro Kit along with LensPen MiniPro for Drones.
Any one of these bundles will make the perfect gift for any or even a bunch of your photographer/friends and if you’re not already using a LensPen, maybe yourself too! All three bundles include 30-day easy return and free shipping within North America and a $20 Flat Rate World-Wide Shipping.
LensPen is a long-time sponsor of my sites but I was using their products long before I had a blog. As as we move into the new year, I would like to thank LensPen for their continued support.
