I have tried so many different cleaning tools, and I always stuck with the basic lens tissues and cleaners. But with today's lenses, they didn't do the job (speed and ease) I was looking for.
The guy at my local (100 year old) camera shop recommended I try one of these.
I have removed all other cleaning items out of my bag except for one "cloth" that I use to clean the outside of my camera and this pen.
Always start with the "brush" to brush away any grit or sand that could possibly scratch the lens. Then lightly, use the other side (felt) to clean away smudges and other marks. It's quick, easy and unbelievably effective!
I use it on my lenses, the LCD of my SLR and even my cell phone.
The first one lasted me a year. I am on my second and recommend it everywhere I go.

I read about the LensPen in a photography magazine and decided to give it a try. Trying to keep DSLR filters and camera lenses clean is a chore, especially when cleaning liquids keep leaving some smearing, no matter how careful you try to be. The Lenspen has two types of cleaners in one small package -- a very good dust brush and an excellent cleaning wiper for smudges or dried moisture spots. I learned the hard way that dust can build up over time, especially on the small lenses of point and shoot digital cameras. This makes the pictures you take blury and darker than they should be. Don't be disappointed, if you want to keep those pictures as crisp as when your camera was new, you need to keep a lenspen in your camera bag and use it before every shoot. Two great tools in one tiny package make this job as simple as can be!

I used to use microfiber cloth to wipe off my lenses. I realize now how unnecessarily time-consuming and risky that was. This is a must-have. I am VERY picky about minute smudges on my glass. This "pen" flawlessly polishes them out quickly, and to me, the less time I have to spend rubbing something on my expensive lenses to clean them, the better. I didn't know water drops or smudges could come off so fast without a trace. Great product, and gentle on your glass.

Quick and Easy way to remove smudges and dust from SLR Cameras and Lenses.
Note:
When Amazon was out of stock, I ordered from a 3rd party vendor, Eforcity and received a counterfeit product. It wasn't the same high quality as the original Lens Pen and it went back to that vendor for a refund. I reordered from Amazon and received the correct product. So beware of counterfeits that are not of the same quality. I have used the NIKON version of the Lens Pen and it is identical, except for red vs. yellow plastic with black and of course, the higher price.

You'll find this same lens pen branded by Kodak, Nikon, Canon and others. I've purchased all of these - and they are all the same - although there some cheap knock-offs, so stick with a brand name. That said, here's what you get - a nice brush (I wish it had a cover, even though it's retractable) and the polisher.
If you have a really greasy fingerprint, you'll want to clean the lens first with a wipe or lens cleaning solution, then follow-up with the lens-pen. If you have spots, dust, etc., then you can start cleaning. Lens Pen states that the pen will clean a fingerprint - that's true - but not if you were eating pizza first. That will just cause a mess. I have one friend who thinks it's funny to lick his finger then swipe it over a camera lens when you're not looking. Pretty childish, but once that mess dries, even a Lens Pen won't clean it - but the 1-2 punch of lens cleaning tissue/fluid and the lens pen will.
I keep one in my various camera bags, at home, etc. (I own several of these) and use them often.
Find dust on the lens? Use the brush. See some spots? Use the polishing end. Now keep in mind, these have a life-span. According to LensPen, you can use the polishing end 500 times or so. When you put the cap on the pad end, give it a 1/2 turn - this replenishes the tip. Realistically it's closer to 200 times. The polishing end is a carbon embedded micro-fiber with a curve that will fray over time. When this happens, it's time for a new pen.
NEVER use on a wet lens - or fresh finger print.
Always brush clean first.
Clean with a circular motion - not back and forth across the lens.
Recharge the tip after each use.
For the average user, one LensPen will probably out last the camera.... Read more ›

THis is a great travel and everyday photo gear tool. I have used this lens pen to remove dust when
I had to disassemble a lens.
WORD OF CAUTION: The brush retracts, but the end of the brush is still exposed to what ever is in
it's environment, dust, finger oils, etc. I found a rubber cap and put that on the retracted brush end.
I didn't do that at the beginning and had to clean the brush with alcohol to remove finger oils just from
reaching into my bag and fumbling for it. If nothing else Store it iN A BAGGY when not needed.

Lens pens are terrific. They're great at removing little smudges etc from lenses without harming anything. I have 3 camera bags, for a D100, D300, and N75, and each bag gets a new lens pen every year. When I bought my first lens pen (2003) I wasn't sure how good/bad it would be, but now I'm hooked on them. Perhaps a more active photographer would change them more often, but for me every year seems to work. The small brush is very handy as well.

Compact, simple, cheap, sturdy
To be clear, this lens pen has two ends/ uses. On one end is a brush that's good for dusting off loose debris and is extended with a slide. Read more

Great item to have in your Kit.
I love these things. I don't know what I'd do without mine. They are just a handy accessory to have. Mine is always in my camera bag (unless I'm using it, of course).

Great for cleaning
I love this instead of using a spray this cleans the dust perfectly off of the lens and then if I need a bit of liquid it is there.

Works
I'm not a pro at lens cleaning but I've used it to dust off some tricky dust specs on my lens. I was able to get rid of it after a long slow try.
