Boris,
I have no first hand experience, but a Google search proved
interesting. The pen contains a dry cleaning compound (graphite) which you use
to polish off the offending mark after first removing grit with the brush end.
Sounds scary although graphite is pretty soft stuff. I found a number of sites
extolling it's virtues (telescopes, binocs, cameras, etc.). Seems like it would
be a good field tool for cleaning a small area of a lens. My impression is that
it would not be suitable for cleaning a large area. I also wonder how it takes
up the graphite after it is done cleaning. My Grandmother used to use graphite
to lubricate her door locks and I remember it being pretty dirty material.

Subject: [OM] [OT] Lenspen
Has anyone used Lenspen?
It was given to me as a gift a year and a half ago, but I used the brush part
only...I am reluctant to use the other end. It looks like a small pollishing
tool and apparently is soaked in some lenscleaning solution. Anyone knows
what's that?
And yes, I know that you prefer to use Kimwipes and Zeiss lens cleaning
solution...:), but I would like to know how good the Lenspen is, because it is
very convenient.
