Digital camera reviews of PEC-PAD Lint Free Wipes 4"x4" 100per/Pkg
Digital camera Review: Work's great!
Summary: 5 Stars
The pads work great with cleaner solution Pec 12 on photographs. If you ever dug old photo's out of the closet to digitize you will need these two products.Digital camera Review: PEC-PAD Lint Free Wipes are "on the spot"
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw these advertised, I was somewhat wary. Now that I have them in hand, I can say that these wipes are very effective and useful on optics and other critical surfaces. They should always be used with a proper cleaning fluid. "Spit" is not a proper cleaning fluid. I have no trepidation about using PEC-PADS on my expensive camera lenses. I have not yet tried them on photographic emulsions, however. These pads are not "cheap", neither in quality nor price. I'll pay the price when I am assured that the product works and does no damage.Digital camera Review: A product that does just what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
PEC-PADs are small squares of paper useful for cleaning lenses, mirrors, scanner/copier beds, etc. They are soft and essentially lint free. To my knowledge, no paper or cloth is absolutely lint free so if you, like another reviewer, go looking for fibers with a jeweler's loupe you'll probably find some. Fortunately, if they are so small they can only be seen under significant magnification, they will cause you no image degradation.
I do encourage users to keep the opened packages in a clean, dust-free environment such as a small plastic food container. If dust settles on the pads it can be transferred to the lens. In fact, it is quite easy to pick up some grit from any number of sources, including the glass surface, itself, and then abrade the lens inadvertently. In other words, " ultra soft and lint-free" refers to the virgin pads and should not lead one to a false sense of security.
My only other objection is the obscenely high price. That, alas, is to be expected with specialty items of this type. Buy from Amazon or a reliable internet seller such as Adorama or BH and you'll save money over camera store prices.
In short, a good product that performs exactly as described.
Digital camera Review: the perfect lens cloth
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted something that was safe, effective and without chemicals. I got it all. They are handy to carry and do the job.Digital camera Review: Not the best for negetive cleaning
Summary: 3 Stars
Tried this for cleaning 35mm film and also to clean the scanner (Cannon 8800F) bed. 1) This is definitely not lint "free". Cleaned the scanner bed with a wipe just out of the packet while looking through a 8x magnifying loupe. I can see lint left behind. When used with PEC-12, noticed a thin film of whitish goo, probably from the wipe. 2) Tried using with PEC-12 for wiping negetives and again the results were not good. Left lint behind and also left minor scratches. So this is generally ok for wiping optics where a very small pices of lint is ok, but not for negatives.
