Alright, so obviously you know what it does and you’re probably wondering if it is powerful enough. I also wanted to know this before buying the product.
Here is what most people do before buying this product:
Many people out there may try to blow air through their mouth. This is a bad idea since you will obviously get small specks of saliva on the lens which will make it harder to clean.
Some people decide that they will only use a lens pen or microfiber cleaning cloth. From what I understand (and this is purely unscientific) excessive cleaning will actually degrade the quality of the front element over time (or even the rear element). Don’t get me wrong. I use a microfiber cleaning cloth as well. However, I use it as a last resort if the air blower doesn’t remove the visible particles.
This leads me to this product. Is it powerful enough? I mean it is intended for optical and computer equipment (keyboards). Yes and no. Some people will like the quick rush of air. I personally do not think it is nearly as powerful as it should be. It has served me well so far but on occasion it proves to be rather unpowerful. You may find some dust particles stick to the lens even after use. That is when I pull out the microfiber cloth.
Recommendation:
Yes, I’d buy it bearing in mind that I may have to whip out my trusty microfiber cleaning cloth. This is a moderately powerful blower that I’ll probably be keeping. I hope Giottos comes out with something more potent in the future since I don’t like cleaning down the lens by hand (for reasons mentioned above).
