Advantages: Simply a very hand little tool that does it`s job very well.

Disadvantages: None really.

Hama is a company that is becoming more and more well known in the digital photography market as not only an inexpensive company but a very, very good company and one that brings inexpensive choices of already available products as well as bringing some very innovative products of their own.

The Hama Digi-clear is one of their innovative products and although it has its limits it is a very inexpensive and simple to use tool that I would recommend all keen photographer purchase. What the Hama Digi-Klear is basically is a lens cleaning tool but it is very small and easy to use as well as being very effective.

I have to say I would not let this loose about my expensive DSLR lenses as I prefer to have them professionally cleaned if a simple blow out of the dust is not enough, but what I do use this for is the more simple tasks of cleaning the lens on my bridge camera as well as cleaning the LCD screens and viewfinders on my bridge and DSLR`s.

The Digi-Klear is pen shaped and features a retractable brush at one end and a capped angled cleaning pad at the other, the triangular cleaning pad means that you can get into all the tight corners that are usually very hard to clean on viewfinders and LCD screens and the brush end offers you the sweeping effect on dust particles rather than just smudging them around.

The pen has a non toxic chemical formula that Hama guarantee will not dry out and so far in the 7 months I have owned mine this appears to be true.

The cleaning instructions are very simple and also very effective, use the brush end first to remove any loose dust particles then if there are marks on the screen such as finger prints or the likes, simply use the cleaning pad and the screen/viewfinder/lens (if you are brave enough to go down that route) will be left spotlessly clean and smudge free.

The pen is very strong and will not break easy, it does not need any special care and it will continue to work time after time after time. It is also a very inexpensive product at less than ten pounds and if you have ever tried to clean a viewfinder on a camera or an LCD screen then you will know how awkward it can be and that is exactly why you should get yourself one of these.

These are not limited to photographers either although that is the market they are aimed at, these days everyone has a mobile phone and things like MP3`s with screens or MP4 players and PDA`s are a lot more common and this Digi-Klear can be used to clean the screens of all these products so it really is a must have tool for almost everyone.

The tool is silver in colour and can be clipped to a pocket or carried in a very small compartment of a camera bag or even a handbag. A very good friend of mine who has a tiny hand held camcorder and simply loves videoing everything she sees for her blogs and her YouTube account recently got one of these on my recommendation and she swears by it too.

She carries it in her handbag and reckons she can clean the lens and screen of her camcorder in less than two minutes anywhere she needs to.

This tool is available from many places online including Warehouse Express and Amazon. I recommend this highly to all photographers and anyone else who has any item with a tricky to clean LCD screen.

Thanks for reading.
