I recently read an article in one of my astronomy magazines regarding the care and maintenance of telescop optics. I purchased this brush as a better way to keep my optics clean of random dust and debris. Works as advertised.

The lens brush came in time and with the very soft bristles removed some stubborn tiny dust particles that wouldn’t blow off. The “lipstick” style case is inexpensive black plastic rather than metal, but doesn’t affect the purpose of the brush for removing dust specks from a lens or filter.

The bristles are black, description of bristles on the packaging is wool and not goat hair. Also, the bristles have been trimmed straight, not rounded as shown in the listing. The seller explained that they sent Amazon the update for their listing a while ago which Amazon is yet to do. Meanwhile, the only reason I ordered this was the listing description and photos, I do not like what I received and it's going back.

Good little cleaner brush that cleverly retracts into the case: this keeps the brush clean and undamaged, whoch is important because my archival storage is in several locations so I need to carry my tools with me. Great idea, well executed, highly recommend.

This brush is great for what it is intended to be: a small portable lens brush that works great and takes up little room in your camera bag. It opens and closes like a lipstick tube; the bristles remain straight and clean.Made of wool and from China which differs from the listing description (I find that no big deal). Negative reviews about the cap being too tight are from 2021 and apparently that issue has been fixed. I have purchased other photo products from this brand and have found them all to be good quality at a reasonable price.

Exactly as described, this compact brush is very well-suited to lens cleaning as well as for cleaning 35mm slides before scanning on a flatbed scanner.

Somebody came up with a great idea where it seems like everything does double duty. The soft bristles are retracted into the barrel to keep them from getting crushed and soiled, they extend like a lipstick and are long and soft so they don't scratch a lens as you brush dust from the surface, then they retract to keep them clean and straight, plus the cap assures they will remain clean, even in your pocket, until needed again.highly recommended.

When scanning slides and negatives you need to keep work area clean and dust free - this needs a lot of planning. Nothing changes this.Even so, old slides & negatives come with their own debris which needs to be gently removed. My air blower did a reasonable job but this brush seems to lift off the more stubborn stuff and is soft enough not to cause damage. I use a gentle rotation of brush once films are in holder. If preview on scanner shows stuff missed then go back and re-clean.The hairs rotate back into brush body and there is a cap so it remains clean when not in use.Nice brush which works well.

I bought this lipstick-sized brush as a dust remover to help with the project of digitizing my collection of several thousand slides. I'm happy I did. It's the perfect size and softness for that task, and does a great job when paired with a Giotto Rocket blower. It won't scratch your negatives or your slides. Yes, it's plastic, but not cheap plastic. It has been knocked off my desk several times without damage. Like lipstick, the brush retracts with a twist of the case, so it's easy to cap and keep clean.

Used to dust slides before scanning. Works really well and like that bristles are stored back in tube.

Ottima fattura e compatto, permette (assieme a un capace soffietto) di eliminare tutte le tracce di polvere presenti sulle lenti prima di pulirle con un liquido specifico.

Just ordered a second one to put in my other camera bag. Excellent design in which you remove the cap and twist to bring up the brush. Bristles are verysoft so won't damage a lens. Twist to put the brush back down in the tube and then replace the cap. The brush is always protected and kept clean as it rolls around in the camera bag. Very smart design.
