We bought this LensPen set from Carson a long time ago. I remember Mike lovingly cleaning the lens of his first Nikon with it, so we’ve had it for at least seven years. I didn’t have much use for it. T-shirt material is really soft and works pretty well to clean off camera lenses. I’m almost always wearing a t-shirt, but I’m never carrying around a Lenspen.

Then I started actually using the camera that’s on my Treo. I was inspired by kitykity and her Blackberry photos. My only problem was the lens on my Treo was covered with smudges, lint and gunk. I tried to use the t-shirt method, but camera phone lenses are so tiny that I just couldn’t get it clean. That’s when I finally found a use for the LensPen.

The LensPen Mini Pro fits perfectly into my Treo lens and cleans it up beautifully. Every couple of days or so, I have to charge my phone. When I do, I use the LensPen on the lens so that it will be clean when I want to take photos. If you use your camera phone as your primary camera, it would probably be a good idea to pick up a LensPen and give your lens a cleaning every week or so. You’ll take better photos.
