A necessity, not an accessory!
For more than 25 years, photographers have counted on LensPen's molecular carbon cleaning technology to remove dust and fingerprints from lenses, filters, view finders, displays and sensors safely, quickly and effectively.
The LensPen molecular carbon compound is the safest, most effective way to clean fine optics. Sprays, wipes and microfiber cloths move grease around. LensPen removes it.

1. Cost
2. size,
3. ease of use
At a price tag of $4, its a very good thing to buy as an add on item.
Its literally very small which makes it easier to keep in the side pocket of your camera bag.
Its really easy to use and soaks all the kinds of oil and dust just fine.
Now the cons. It works great for say 15-20 times. And then, it starts to lose its charm. The tip which has the carbon thing (which actually absorbs the oil) gets saturated with oild and ultimately stop working after 40 or so uses. But $4 for 40 uses is like $0.1 each time and I think everyone owning lenses can pay this much to keep their lenses clean. So I am buying a new one soon.
I was skeptical, but this LensPen NLP-1 lives up to the "new & improved" tag that appears on the upper right portion of the product. It's good enough so that this user will not go back to the older versions, as worthy as they've proven themselves in the past.
Pros:
+ Compact, tight design; fits into the camera bag or pocket easily
+ Lens or filter is cleaned in ten seconds or less; fingerprints and dust are gone
+ Screw-on cap protects carbon cleaner; won't fall off in the pocket
+ Retractable dust removal brush; very handy and protects the brush
+ Carbon tip does a superb cleaning job; no fluids needed
+ Great price on an excellent product; very competitive
+ Carbon tip cleans in ten seconds; lives up to its claims
Cons:
- None encountered
In Use:
When my order for the LensPen NLP-1 came in, the first thing was to check and compare it with my old favorite Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System , which is also made by LensPen... check the cap. The NLP-1 is about a half inch shorter, but all of the good features of my old preference are still there. It has a new shape, and the screw-on cap is a welcome change.
The retractable dust removal brush does an excellent job of eliminating general dust and the environmental residue that we seem to collect when we're out taking photos. But where this LensPen stands out is its use of the dry-carbon cleaning pad on the other end of this product. When I was a kid, we used to clean windows and mirrors with crumpled newspaper. Black printing is made with a carbon compound, and the carbon molecules have the capability of absorbing oils, grease and contaminants. It's the carbon that does the cleaning, and why the dry cleaning of this improved LensPen works as well as it does.
But there are times when one needs to take further steps, such when I recently left my Nikon DSLR on a picnic table while having lunch, lens faced up. As luck (or fate) would have it, a seagull started his bombing run, and instead of my companion or me, he got my 35mm f/1.8G Nikkor lens smack in the middle of the UV filter. Did a superficial cleaning, and when I got home, I cleaned the "residue" off with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of good lens cleaner. I have both Carl Zeiss Optical Lens Spray Cleaner and Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner for such heavy duty cleaning instances. I have a five-year-old original LensPen that lost its cap years ago, so the next step was to use that with a drop of the lens cleaner on the filter surface, then the newer LensPen with the dry-carbon cleaning pad to finish the job. It sparkled.
Summary:
The LensPen NLP-1 is relatively inexpensive, and this with the other LensPen products are a very low cost way of maintaining your photo gear. It's new size and features are evolutionary of a well-design product in the first place, and fit quite easily into your pocket or even into the smallest camera bags. These would make a great gift for a photographer or anyone using field optics, and are usually quite appreciated. For the price and value received, they're highly recommended 5-star products for keeping your lenses and filers clean.
