4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not size described, March 16, 2006

2006, Amazon states;
Product Dimensions: 13.0 x 10.0 x 7.0 inches


There was no photo (until I uploaded one) so I thought this was the size stated, but turned out to be one of the little keychain bags with about a 5x5 cloth inside.

Works fine, just not what I thought it was, and didn't want someone else to think it was large also. See my photo for actual size next to some keys.

Update 4/8/2006

I see they added a photo of what I THOUGHT I was getting when I ordered.. see my uploaded photo in "customer" photos to see what they sent.


Edit 03/12/2008

Been used and washed many, many times now and still doing a good job. I keep it on my belt loop every day so outside bag is showing a bit of shine in spots and is a bit lighter in color now, but micro fiber inside is like new. Was a good $5 purchase.

Edit 07/29/2008

Looks like they have the original info problem replaced at this point in time...

Now there are new dimensions listed, but my old cloth still measures
7 x 5.5 inches.
Did they narrow it to 2.5 inches or is it another typo ?
I'd bet on another typo.

and since I'm here... weight on digital postal scale is 0.2 ounces ready to use 8-)

Yes, still working well and washed even more times...
just so you know, I use it for my plastic eye glasses not my camera lenses. Looking through the DSLR view finder in hot weather pushes my glasses into my face and makes a mess.. when shooting, I keep this cloth clipped high on the neck strap ready for fast action before next shot. Needs washing after each day of use in Summer heat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite handy, February 12, 2007

I bought two of these Nikon keychain microfibre cloths before I realised they were just custom-branded Spudz, but I didn't pay any extra for it with the free shipping so it doesn't matter. It's very handy to have and the cloth is just like any other microfibre one, but it stores inside the attached elasticised cloth pouch. I don't know how useful the fact that it's 18% gray really is...but it'd be perfect if the pouch had a little elastic flap over the opening to keep out the lint from your pocket. If you like Nikon, get the Nikon one...if you like Sigma, get the Sigma one...but they're all Spudz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I thought this would be., May 28, 2006

Good advice from the other reviewer about the picture.
That having been said I have three of these and really wouldn't want to do without them.
These clean my camera's screen and the glass on my lenses without a scratch every time.
In my opinion almost a must have in your bag!
Good luck!
