Just wanted to say two things that were great about this product: 1)The Lenspen is authentic (there are some generic ones here on Amazon), and 2) the blower works GREAT. I had read a lot about having to get a Giottos Rocket Air, because nothing else will do the job. While I'm sure the Giottos is excellent, the blower included in this package works fantastically (very strong air stream, high quality bulb), and it's not the size of a large turkey drumstick! (I know there are different sizes of the Giottos blowers, but mostly what you find on Amazon is the large one, and it's HUGE) The rest of the equipment provided in this package is generic, but perfectly decent, but the combination of a real lenspen and a good blower are the two things that make this a great value.

I love this cleaning set. The pen is great for quick cleaning, like a little dust or salt water on the lens. EVen the accidental finger print. And the cleaning paper is great for further cleaning without lint. I do find the felt cleaning cloth does leave lint behind. I use it more for the outer parts of the camera and maybe sometimes the view finder on my nikon D60. There were some extra items that were unnecessary and sit in my camera drawer for possible future use. I do not need two brushes or pump blowers. But I may someday. We can always use extra, right?!?

The lens pen is a great tool that every photographer should have in their bag. Fast and painless way to get smudges and dust off of the lens. The bundled cleaning kit is actually pretty decent. The microfiber cloth is actually a microfiber cloth and doesn't leave behind lint like some other cheap ones. The blower is compact and fits well in my camera bag. Haven't used the lens cleaning fluid, tissues or swabs yet, but they appear to be of decent quality. Totally worth it for the price even if you never use the cleaning fluid

This thing is like magic for lenses. I mean you open the cap and just rub away anything. The little brush on the other end is great to. Firm enough to get in the cracks but soft enough not to scratch anything! A must have for any photo enthusiast.

the Lens pen really works. The cleaning kit leaves a bit to be desired (I actually toss it and don't use it), however the blower does come in handy :-)

Need to take care of your lenses? This is the perfect all-in-one lens care kit. I mostly love the LensPEN for its ease and portability. Keep it in your pocket (with the cloth in case of water on the lens) while out shooting and you can clean just about anything. Then take it home and use the rest of the kit to keep your lenses factory quality.

I like the pen and the air blower very much. They are very useful, especially the pen! My lens was very dirty before I used the pen, and after cleaning it, it was almost like new. The air blower was very useful for cleaning the loosen dirts in unreachable area. Not a big fan for the clean cloth though -- I also used the solution and the clean cloth to clean some spots on the lens, but the cloth left something on it.

I don't use everything in it however, it is here if I decide to. I mostly use the lenspen, lens tissue paper, q-tips, cloth and the air blower.
It has a really nice carrying case.
I carry it in my camera bag so that it is there after I use the camera.
I really do like it, it works very well.

PROS
====
1. The pen is FANTASTIC! Worth purchasing the whole kit just for the pen
2. The cloth it comes with is fabulous! Soft, and cleans LCDs & lenses so well too!
3. The cleaning solution really works well!! Especially on a Q-Tip!!
4. Comes with a little bag to hold everything


CONS
====
1. Some of the stuff is slightly on the cheap side...but barely.


Conclusion
==========
I don't regret purchasing this kit. The seller's service was great, the items that are in the kit are mostly of good-great quality.

It has everything I need to clean my Canon 5D Mark II & L series lens' -- that's all I care about!!

The pen is pretty handy, scrubs the guck off my lenses. The blower could be more powerful, but just get a rocket blower and you'll be set. Other than that if you're looking for just a basic little cleaning kit, this one suffices.
