I tried to see how easy it is to use 'HAKUBA Lens Pen 2' to clean the lens easily with one



Taking pictures is very attractive for camera enthusiasts, but cleaning and maintenance are essential to stay with your favorite camera for a long time. However, if you touch the lens while shooting outdoors and your fingerprints get sticky, prepare lens cleaner liquid on the lens paper and it takes time and effort. Because there was a product called ' HAKUBA lens pen 2 ' that is convenient for cleaning such a lens, I actually got it and used it.

The package looks like this. The colors are silver and black.



I opened it and took it out. One lens pen 2 body and one spare cleaning tip are included.



The part of the clip says LENS PEN. It looks like a pen.



The side of the pen says HAKUBA, the company name.



It weighs 16 grams and is very convenient to carry.



It is a pen itself when it is held by hand.



I tried side by side with the stationery. Compared with the length is a bit short, but also familiar with other stationery.



Slide the black knock next to the clip and the lens brush pops out. As it can usually be stored, it takes space and is compact.



The brush is made of fine wool.



The cleaning tip looks like this. Natural chamois leather made from sheep and deer leather is used for a smooth and comfortable feel.



Inside the cap, instead of the cleaning liquid, carbon powder called HAKUBA patented carbon compound is stored, so carbon powder can be replenished just by closing the cap.



Let's clean the lens as soon as possible. A lens uses '

G VARIO HD ASPH. MEGA OIS H-VS014140 ' which is a 14-140 mm zoom lens of LUMIX.



In order to check how much dirt can be wiped out, I tried to put a fingerprint on it.



You can see that it is quite dirty.



In the explanation on the back, first remove dust and dirt with a brush, and it's quite easy to just wipe it in a circle. It seems that traces of dry drops of water can be removed cleanly by blowing gently and wiping.



First, use a brush to remove dust and dirt that has accumulated on the lens and edges. If you have time, it may be better to use the blower first.



According to the instruction manual, we will wipe it in a circle. The cleaning tip has a curved center, and fits tightly to the spherical surface of the lens.



Although dirt that is difficult to wipe off with lens paper may leave marks along the edge of the lens, such dirt can also be wiped out completely with a circular cleaning tip, making it practical.



It became beautiful in no time. Even with fingerprint stains, just wipe it a couple of times.



Nikon's single-focus microlens

AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f / 2.8G has a small lens surface and cleaning with lens paper is difficult.



If the lens area is larger than the cleaning tip, it can be used without any problem.



It can be used for about half a year with 5 to 6 usages a day, and it can be replaced with a spare according to the following procedure even if carbon powder is lost.



To replace it for testing, remove the cap and pull out the black part with the cleaning tip.



I'm off. It's pretty solid, so it will take some time for women's power.



The contents of the spare are as follows.



Install in the same way as removing the cleaning cap. Care should be taken when replacing, as your hands will be contaminated with carbon powder.



The HAKUBA Lens Pen 2 is compact and space-saving, so it can be stored in a camera case or pen case. Anyone who cares about the maintenance of the camera is likely to be useful to have one, because you can easily clean the lens anytime and anywhere.
