Static-Master Brush 1" Reviews
My local supplier doesn't have them any more so I thought I order through Amazon from Adorama Camera. But. I don't think so. $26 - fine. $7 shipping. Great product - used them for years.
I used a new Static-Master brush for cleaning slides prior to scanning. Again, definitely not worth the extra cost for StaticMaster. The latter was a far greater problem on some of the slides I dealt with. The brush does clean off loose dust and lint, of course, but it does not remove years-old specks that are stuck to the film. Definitely not worth the extra cost for StaticMaster. I tried quite a few different techniques for cleaning my slides, including using a plain soft brush (no polonium). Honestly, I could not tell a difference in the effectiveness of the various cleaning strategies I used.
This is only the second one I've bought in more than 35 years simply because the first one lasted so long (although remember the element must be replaced annually).
After careful observation, this product is amazing at removing dust, particularly loose dust, from the surface of a slide. This product does not remove fingerprints, scratches, or spots caused by something other than dust. If you are scanning slides yourself, you need this product. I pass the StaticMaster over both sides of each slide I scan.
Highly recommend. I first learned about Static Master in photography school and have been using them for 16 years now. I think it is a superior product for lens cleaning. Works like a dream. I like the fact that the cartridge is replaceable (they recommend yearly) and you can just mail the old cartridge back to the company for recycling.
