Finally, An Optical Lens Cleaner That Really Works!
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 04:00 PM
"Those of you who have read my "Who Designed This Crap?" columns know that I'm not easily impressed with many technologies, and I take vendor claims with a ton of salt. I tested Purosol in a number of tough lens cleaning situations and I can vouch for the claims made by Origin Labs about the almost magical ability of this cleaner to remove dust and dirt, and especially oil and grime. Purosol Optical is truly a miracle product. Gad! I sound like one of those guys on an infomercial. But, it's true. Oh yeah: it works great on my plastic eyeglass lenses as well."
Barry Gerber starts his article with: "I'm a certified photography nut and I wear glasses; the combination means that I spend a lot of time cleaning lenses." That line alone was enough to make me pay attention. I have also been contantly dismayed by the performace of some lens cleaners, and have watched them wipe protective coatings away in one swipe. :evil: I have to admit I'm really tempted, but at $7.95 per 1oz. bottle, I'd like to hear some other testimony. Anyone here use Purosol? What were your impressions? Worth the $8?
