Digital camera reviews of Lenspen LENSK1 Sensorclear Dslr Ccd Cleaner
Digital camera Review: Absolutely amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been wondering about strange blurry objects in some of my pictures - turned out to be dust and fibers on the image sensor. First I tried a blower (Giottos Rocket Air Blaster), as recommended, and this got some of it off. I then tried an expensive set of swabs with Eclipse fluid. This helped, but there were still visible dust spots.
Then I tried the Sensor Klear. It seemed almost too simple - a turn of the cap, a few wipes of the sensor with the triangular tip, and then done. I took another picture (f22, infinity focus, of blue sky). ALL of the dust was gone!
What delights me even more is that the Sensor Klear is safe to take on an airplane, which Eclipse fluid is not. This will be very handy when I go on my vacation later this year.
You do still need a blower to get rid of larger particles first, as advised in the Sensor Klear instructions, but I see little need for expensive and complicated wet cleaning solutions as long as I have a Sensor Klear. Highly recommended.
Digital camera Review: Disappointing

The product comes with no written instruction, but instead points you to their website where you find a slow moving video that is as much marketing as instruction and that says, at one point, NOT TO USE THIS BRUSH TO CLEAN THE SENSOR! Now isn't that the very usage it's sold for???Digital camera Review: Easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
Works well. Follow the directions exactly and take care when touching the sensor. Used this first on an older D50 and it cleared all the spots with no problems.Digital camera Review: Easy to use, cleans perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used it with and without the Loupe - either way it's easy to use and does a great job. I use a blower to remove the large particles, then the cleaning pen. A couple of passes and the sensor is clean. Not for the faint of heart!Digital camera Review: Excellent way to clean a sensor
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lenspen Sensor Klear is a cheap, easy to use and allowed-on-planes cleaning solution.
Cleaning a camera sensor (the filter infront of it actually) its a tricky business, if you dont feel secure enough to do it, dont do it.
However, if you feel up to it, you will come across a great amount of options to do so, and depending on your skill and experience, you may cause a wreck with any of them.
Using this item makes the task of cleaning a sensor easy and safe too. The carbon compound of which the tip is made will absorb liquids in the sensor and get rid of the sticky dust that a blower wont get rid of.
It's size its like a normal pen, so it wont take space in your bags and it wont be restricted on planes.
The cleaning tip is designed to let you reach the sensor corners easily, not to mention is flexible and replaceable.
Read the instructions first before using it, and remember, the brush DOESNT clean the sensor, the tip does. The brush is to clean the lens mount, lens contacts and the rear element of the lens if its dirty. And whatever you do, DO NOT PRESS HARD WITH THIS ITEM ON THE SENSOR, otherwise you will move it from its place and that will be a huge problem.
As long as you follow the instructions on the back of the packaging or the video of how to use it found in the Lenspen official site, you will be fine.
If you're looking for a simple to use, cheap and portable solution to clean a sensor, this is the item youre looking for.
