Would you buy a lens cleaning pen?

If striker and I can secure Mike's credit card details, would you buy 1 or more lens cleaning pens?

If it is the same one as Steves that I used at Camp I would grab one. It did a fantastic job on my EP's. I was very suprised at the result!

Already got one, so none for me. But I do recommend it. It's a very useful EP cleaning tool.

Not really sure what the context of the question is. If it's the bintel one then I think it's a bit expensive, but if it has Ice In Space written on the side then I'd concider it. Is there a group discount? I already have one so does that mean I should vote yes? Maybe I should just go to bed.

Maybe we can organise a Bintel discount if we buy in bulk, but most people would be able to pick one up from their local camera store, so i'm not sure whether it's worth the hassle of postage etc.

I agree with Mike. I also have bought the digital version of this pen, it has a triangle to get into thise hard places. There is also a mini version to use on small lenses. Whilest this idea is noble I think people have individual needs and postage is an issue. Some pens are available from BigW for a slighly cheaper price (digital camera ones).

Then you have the hassle of gathering the money. As Mike has had orders placed for other items on the site it seems as though some people have not followed through with the purchase. this would end up being another example.

You can get one at the local camera shop? WEEEEEEE!!!!!

But I already use a eyewear cleaning cloth to clean my lenses.... I guess I'll get one if its like $10 or something.... but not for $18 bucks, sounds expensive for a brush!
