I purchased to use with my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K. This great camera has a body that's nearly impossible not to get fingerprints on the LCD. The DigiKlear worked great to clean the LCD. It's amazing how it's self-replenishing and cleans without the need for a spray cleaner or cloth. After using the DigiKlear, I covered the LCD with an Invisible Shield by Zagg which is the best screen protector I've found. The LensPen is also great and it is so much better than Nikon's Lens Pen. I haven't yet used the cleaning kit but I'm sure it will come in handy. I purchased this combination kit since it was cheaper than buying the items individually. I would have given it 5 stars if it had come with a small case to keep all the items organized. I suggest that they create a cloth case with pliable plastic pockets that rolls up such as a wrench set that has a string to bundle it up. But that might have made it more expensive. I'm hoping the Tamrac bag I ordered will be able to keep these items safe & organized for when I need to use them. The two pens would have cost much more to purchase individually so it's like getting the cleaning kit for free.

I bought this lens cleaning kit because it came with the two original LENSPENs that I wanted, a good sized air bulb, and a separate brush.

The LENSPENs are original and work great. A lens or LCD look like they have been polished after using them. I like to have the lens or LCD fairly clean before using the pen so as not to build up any crud in the small pad of the pen. The bulb is large and good quality and blows air out the nozzle, but sucks air in from the back-end so you are not sucking any crud into the bulb. The separate, handy, brush is good enough but not great. I don't know what the brush is made out of, but it is pretty good. Right amount of stiffness, right amount of softness. Be careful not to scratch anything with the metal feral though. Perhaps some masking tape around it would be a good idea. These good, and very good quality items, if bought separately would cost what, twice as much?

The other items aren't worth much.

The cleaning fluid is a bit 'soapy.' It IS good though if you really get some kind of crud on something. But, be aware that if you need to use it on the lens or the LCD you are likely to need to clean them with something else afterward. Like the cloth, the tissues or the pens. I don't think the fluid has any alcohol in it and I have always wondered if the mild solvent that alcohol is, is harmful to the coatings on lenses. Considering that, maybe this lens cleaning fluid is really good.

The microfiber cloth comes very linty and needs to be washed. It's about 7 X 7 after washing and still a little linty. Can a real microfiber cloth be linty? I don't know. It's soft and will be handy enough though.

You get 10 cotton swabs. OK while they last. You get 8 or 10 small lens tissues. You get a cloth drawstring pouch to carry the stuff around in if you need it.

Anyway, I think the 'good' items in the kit are will worth the money and then you get a few extra things besides. And it is pretty much just what you need if you don't yet have any lens cleaning items.

you could buy all of these items separately but this package really does it all. It is a great combo.

The only reason it gets 4 not 5 stars is that it would really be nice if it came with a carry case of some kind, but that would probably add to the price.

The Lens Pens are great and having the 2 different shapes for the lenses and the screens helps out.

The lens cleaner pen really worked well. I went to the ocean and it cleans salt and water spots right off the lens. I am very happy with this product.

Good selection of items. However, the smell of the rubber in the air blower is absolutely toxic, impossible to leave in my camera bag. I am even thinking about throwing it away and buying a different one. Seriously: this smell's got to be bad for your health. It gives me heartburn.

This item does exactly it says it will do and is a perfect addition to any level photographer.

I highly recommend it.

LensPEN Lens Cleaning System Works absolutely great. I live in Arizona where dust is a continuous problem. The brush is gentle and removes the dust perfectly. The lens cleaner and the LCD cleaner do a superb job of cleaning. These items are always with me when I go out on shoots. You wouldn't go out on a photo shoot without an extra battery, don't go on a photo shoot without these!!!

The LensPEN Lens Cleaner and DigiKlear LCD Screen Cleaner seem to be in good shape, but I haven't used them yet. When I opened the Precision Design Cleaning Kit the smell was so bad I had to set it outside. It must have been on the shelf for a long period of time and the rubber ball blower really takes your breath away. I finally put a laundry fabric softener in the box to kill the smell. The kit gets 1 star.

Glad I didnt pay more for this kit. It does the job...just. Quality over the long run is suspect but it is working ok right now.
