Advantages: works well

Disadvantages: Do not think you can get new ones anymore .

While sorting out my dad's camera equipment I came across a blower brush by Kalimar. These little blower brushes are always useful.
The Kalimar blower brush is probably not made any more it is quite old. I did a quick research of Kalimar on the internet. I discovered that Kalimar was an Ame4rican distributor of camera equipment that sold out to Tiffin in 1999.

This blower brush is similar to other blower brushes I have seen and used on my camera lens. It is similar to the Hamma blower brush I wrote about a few weeks ago.
Similar blower brushes retail at about £4 or £5.
This blower brush has a grey rubber squeezable bulb 2 inches in diameter. The white neck leading to the brush is about 2 inches long. At the top of the neck is a brush made of fine sort hairs.
Squeeze the soft bulb and puffs of air can be felt at the brush.

This brush is used for blowing dust from the lens of the camera (nothing more annoying than dust specs on your pictures from a dirty lens.) If you rub a lens with a cloth you might get scratches so safer to use a blower brush. This blower brush is not suitable for using on digital camera sensors.

This kalimar blower brush is a good size to put in your camera case when out and about taking photographs.

Summary: A blower brush for optical equipment .
