Matin Camera Lens Cleaner Brush Lipstick Design - Natural Wool / Small

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.

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.

Brush bristles come off while using leaving the bristles on the camera lens. Having used many lipstick brushes over the years, this one is worthless. Going in the trash.

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.

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.

It is as described and perfect for my needs.

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.

Ordered this only because the product description and photo of the packaging stated specifically that the brush was made of goat hair. Received a package that said it was "natural wood", presumably that the fibers were somehow derived from wood. It's not horrible, just not as soft as natural hair brushes that I've had in the past.

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

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.

This Goat Hair Dust Brush is just an essential cleaning kit accessory that all & every photographer must have. It is an excellent dust brush that I bought after thorough research to brush off dust from my DSLR Lenses without leaving behind any risk of scratch on the Lens element and ensure that any damage to the Lens coating does not occur. Cheap brushes available always pose a threat to damage the front or rear lens element & its coating. So to protect expensive DSLR Lenses, this Matin Goat Hair Brush is only a small but useful investment. The Cap provided works great to keep the hairs on the brush safe & free form dirt. I highly recommend it for all enthusiast, amateur or professional photographers. Happy Photography !

Produit convenant parfaitement pour sa fonction. Le capuchon est le petit plus pour garder le pinceau à l'abri de la poussière. Petit et léger, il se range sans encombrement dans le sac du matériel photo ou dans la poche :)

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.
