CLEAN UPKeep your DSLR’s sensor clean with the LensPen SensorKlearLOUPE kit. You position the pen on the camera body, like you would a lens, and light is directed to pinpoint the problem while helping you see what you’re cleaning. Once dust is found, the included blower removes it. For cleaning sticky dust, use the access window at the side of the Loupe and insert the angled tip of the new SensorKlear II pen to clean away the dirt. Estimated Street Price: $79.
