Customer Review: Money Well Spent...
Summary: 5 Stars
You really can't (and won't) go wrong buying this Giottos Kit for your camera; you get quite a bit for your money. I figured I'd break down the different items you get with your purchase.
If you want a succinct, bottom line up front, this kit is a smart, useful buy with quality components for a low price. If you want details, read on.
Lenspen Lens Pen Cleaning System:
The lens pen is terrific and does its job well. It cleaned a brand new Hoya 58mm UV filter I had recently purchased from amazon.com that came smudged with a narrow, circular band of gunk that a lens cloth could not remove. The lens pen is easy to use and comes with instructions in the event you are uncertain how to use it.
- use the brush first (which is retractable) to clear away any dust particles, lint, etc
- use the cleaning tip (revealed by removing end cap) after the brush if necessary for smudges
(One note about the cleaning tip...it will leave a black smudge on anything you might accidentally brush it against [skin, clothes]).
- use the microfiber cleaning cloth that came with the Giottos Kit (at least that's what I did). I briefly talk about this cloth further down below.
I really like the fact that the cleaning brush is retractable and I'm surprised it doesn't have a cap to go over that end of the lens pen like the cleaning tip end does. Still, this is a great little tool any photographer should have.
Giottos Rocket-Air Blower Professional AA1900 PLUS +:
As already mentioned by a few reviewers, the Rocket Air Blower is on the large size but works quite effectively. It will definitely deliver a blast of air that will remove dust and other loose "debris" on your lens or camera. This thing is made of sturdy rubber and looks like it will last a long time unless it turns into a dog's chew toy. I leave the Rocket Air Blower at home when I'm out and about because its size and shape make it a bit too bulky for my Canon camera backpack. That's where the small dust blower/brush tool comes in handy.
Precision Design 5-Piece Lens Cleaning Kit :
What I like about this 5-piece cleaning kit is that you get the small dust blower/brush tool I mentioned a second ago. This dust blower/brush tool is easily small enough to fit in a crowded backpack or smaller camera case. Granted, it's not as powerful (or rugged) as the Rocket Air Blower, but it gets the job done just so long as the job involves dust on a lens or camera body. I wouldn't recommend using it on a sensor (same for the lens pen, by the way). As far as the other items in the 5-piece lens cleaning kit goes, what's there to say about q-tips? Clean your lens with them, clean your ears; it's win-win for your camera and your hygiene. I haven't used the q-tips, the lens tissues, or lens cleaning solution yet and doubt if I ever will, but who knows. They're nice to have handy just in case. This 5-piece lens cleaning kit comes in its own carboard box when you receive this Giottos Kit.
Cameta Microfiber Cleaning Cloth:
This cloth does the trick. It's nothing fancy, but the plastic packet/container that it comes in is a nice touch and is sturdy enough not to tear when the cloth is folded and kept in it. I've used this cleaning cloth several times along with the lens pen and have no issues with it. It actually did a lot better job of cleaning a lens than the more expensive lens cleaning cloth I had purchased locally.
Sure, this review is a tad bit long, but I had time on my hands. Hopefully it gave some idea of what you get when you buy this kit. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase. Of course there's always that small chance you will get a lemon in the kit, but that goes with any other purchase here or elsewhere. I feel that I got my money's worth out of Giottos.

The Giottos Rocket-Air Blower is very powerful and easy to use cleaning system. The super air stream blows off dust particles, even those attracted by static electricity. Giottos' patented and unique rocket base design allows the Rocket-Air to stand by itself and prevents accidental blocking of the inlet valve as well as making it easy to store. The inlet valve prevents back flow from the air tube. This air blower is an excellent way to remove dust off sensitive equipment parts without physical contact. It works great when used on digital camera sensors, lenses, telescopes, computer keyboards, microscopes, communications equipment, musical instruments or just about any precision equipment.
The LensPen is one of the most invaluable accessories a photographer can own. Its unique design makes cleaning your lens fast, simple and effective. On one end, a retractable soft brush sweeps dust and loose particles away from the glass. On the other end, a special dry cleaning compound is used to gently remove fingerprints and spots.
This 5-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Blower Brush and Cotton Swabs.
Keep your camera and lenses smudge-free with this handy microfiber cleaning cloth.
