I have one, they usually have a brush on one end, and a little leathery swab on the other for "cleaning" lens, or atleast wiping them down.

Most of the stuff there is too espensive.
Those lens pens are $12 on Ebay, they start at $20 at Greys. And don't forget the 12.5% premium.

It's an auction, so you bid on it just like you would at ebay. But beware, there is a 12.5% premium paid to the auctioneer, Grays Online. That's on top of your winning price.

Plus you have delivery as well.

cheers,

André

Interesting auction site.

However, I cannot find any information on the condition of any of the goods. What am I overlooking ? :( :oops:

Cheers,

for each item, they have a Condition: New or used or reconditioned, etc. Click on the link to see what the descriptions means.

generally, when something is not new, they will have a mention in the item description if it has marks, missing bits, etc.

HTH,

André
