Ritz Camera- just got one. Has some kind of cleaning pad on 1 end, and a retractable brush on the other. Haven't had the guts to try it on my GL-2 yet...

Got mine from Ritz as well, same one as George's, about $7. Works great.

Opportunity for DVi?
Maybe DVinfo could make a small bit of $$, and offer a pack of cleaning essentials - pen, paper, cloth, solution, cleaning tape, etc... offer it for cheap and any profit, albiet small, could go towards upkeep. It'll certainly not hurt the sponsors business.

Thanks Andrew, that is a good idea... a DVi branded lens pen. If I can locate a supplier, this might actually happen. Much appreciated,

Chris
Your making me smile. I'm a field engineer for a large refrigeration manufacturer. The first thing the boys say as I walk through the door is "where's the schwag?" Hat's, pens, screwdrivers, manuals, anything at all. |

Chris, I'm in for the baseball hat idea...It would be like the ultimate shooting cap...as for the cleaning pen, well, it would be hard since Circuit City can sell one for a measly $4. BTW, it does work pretty good, similar to the old skool vinyl cleaners for the old 33's and 45's and the other end is a good ole fashion brush, now if someone can produce a brush that ahs bristles that don't fall off...
Chris, there are a few places here in "the city" (San Francisco, Frisco, Sisko, DA 'sco, etc.) I can post phone numbers and inquire about prices if you'd like. I think they do coffee mugs, buttons, etc.

No need to go that far, Garret. My brother-in-law does this stuff for all the local High Schools and clubs. Fairly low price compared to other's I've seen.
I have my own VPD Photographer hat. Gets me in a lot of places. How about DVI Film Crew hat and T-Shirt?

Ouuuu a VPD hat...Mike do you know some folks at Vallejo's finest? I know Metz ( I think he transferred to Eureka), Bull (Mr 357 himself) Alan Caragan, and Ehman ( Cool Kat.). I would love a VPD hat /swat shirt that would get me all over the place...hmmm, I just did a freebie for this one guy in SFPD, maybe an SFPD hat?

For anyone still wondering what a Lenspen is it is a pen shaped cleaning tool for removing dust and smudges from lenses. On one end it has a brush for removing dust and debris from the surface of your lens. On the other end is a soft pad that is used to remove smudges, like finger prints etc, from the surface of the lens. These pens are in my opinion one of those things that is a must have for anyone who shoots either photos or video.
