Anyone ever used a Lens Pen lens cleaning device?

Not sure if I've used the Nikon one, but I've used lens cleaning pens. I dunno if it was that great...

My current lens cleaning process consists of brushing with an anti-static brush, then two drops of solution on lens paper, wipe the lens, get a dry piece and gently wipe away smudges. Looks great afterward.

Often times I'll just use the anti-static brush if I'm in a hurry. I love that thing, works really well. I bought it at Photomark for a few bucks.

Many a times when I carried the big dog photo gear. I like 'em. Very handy out on a hike. Though you really still need a lens cloth at times as it can leave a little eclipse from the edge if you look closely. Especially when it's new. You can work it but it takes a little practice... to finish up swirl from the inside progressively out.

Well not a "Nikon" specific one, whatever B&H offers.

I bought one a few months ago and really like it so far.

I suspect that the Nikon name is nothing more than a brand-attachment. I'll let y'all know how it works out after next weekend.

I have used the Nikon lens pen and would recommend it: nothing faster if you are in a hurry. Unfortunately I recently lost mine and need to buy another.
