Reviews & Ratings for Rudolph Optics Lens Pen/ Lens Cleaner — 1 review — Page 1

I received the Rudolf lens pen long after the other items I ordered arrived. The packaging looks like any other but certainly better than the vortex packaging. That is where the good details end. Upon inspection of the lens cleaner I found the cleaning solution assembly was poorly mounted in the pen body and sat askew, not the end of the world. I opened the dry solution compartment to find an odd looking cleaning head. It appeared to be like the ones I'm familiar with but had an odd foam disc on the end of the suction cup shaped cleaner. Wondering why this pen was different I started to dig a little deeper; as it turns out the foam disc at the end of the cleaning stem was the pad meant to remain in the stems cap. That's right, ladies and gents, the very piece meant to refresh the stem with its magical cleaning solution when the cap is replaced was well adhered to the cleaning stem itself. How does this happen? Was the foam pad inserted upside down during assembly? Does the magic solution reside on one side of the pad and not the other? If so, how do I identify the magic solution infused side so I can finish the manufacturers job? Will the oils on my finger tips contaminate the pad if I were to attempt to fix it? I purchased this product as an answer to a problem, I received it late and have more questions than are worth my time to return this defective product. You got me for ten dollars this time, Rudolf. NEVER AGAIN!
