I love it
This little guy is pretty handy. I love this idea and product. A bit pricey in India as the actual price of the product is 10 dollars i.e 650 rupees and I paid 1500 rupees. But overall nice product.

Handy lens cloth with it's own storage bag
I have quite a few lens cloths the problem for me is the times I forget to pack one, this "Spudz" micro fibre lens cloth comes with it's own built in pouch (which is neoprene ie flexible), complete with a plastic clip on top to attach it to various items be it a camera strap, bag or possibly belt loop.Quality wise the cloth is good and does it's job of lens cleaning well. As others have noted it can also be used a grey card, it's pretty close to my reference 18% grey card calibrated colour chart.Notes:* Extended out fully the cloth is about 25cm x 25cm in a square shape (the tip is inside the pouch sewn in) so it extends out in a triangle shape, that's a good size for a cloth for lens cleaning. I would recommend folding it back in a similar way to how it unfolds rather than just shoving it back in the pouch* As with any lens cleaning make sure no debris is on the lens element I'd also suggest a shake of the cloth before you use it just to make sure there are no particles on the cloth (I do this with all lens cloths)Areas for improvement:-Well it's a good buy for convenience but slightly overpriced for what you get (it's a lens cloth in a bag not an expensive item but a price of about £5 would represent a fairer price)-The plastic hook is decent enough and does the job of attaching to various items you might want, but it's a little small and can be fiddly trying to attach it to a camera strap for example, you can take the hook off (there is a small loop to put another one on) A slightly larger hook would be just perfectOverall though a good lens cloth with it's own self contained pouch to store it. Worth a look for those who forget to bring them or like to carry a spare.

Lens cloth with built in storage and drying wire clip
The Spudz micro fibre lens cloth is a grey card coloured lens cloth that is attached to its own neoprene storage container. The lens cloth is easy to get out and put back into the neoprene; and the micro fibre does a good job in cleaning a lens of dust and moisture. I used it recently in a jungle for a few days and it removed lots of moisture and dirt (mud generally gets a first removal with a bottle of water) from my gopro case and slr lens filters with the cloth removing whatever was left. Used on such harsh environments Its pretty easy to clean - though its best to have two for those circumstances a dirt and finishing cloth set. Using the pouch you can't protect one side from the other easily to have a single cloth be dual purpose. When its dirty flip the neoprene inside out to get all the cloth out and (its stitched into the neoprene) then keep holding onto the neoprene - its a hands on affair with water and a mild a soap as you can find as you can't machine wash it. On my unusual trip that happened once a day and the cloth was still soft on the fifth day of daily washing.Once washed put it somewhere to air dry (not in the dryer.) The pouch has a clip to attach it to things (like a camera strap) I don't understand the point of that - i want to keep the cleaning cloth away from the dirt till I need it. I did find it very useful on the hotel bathroom drying wires after washing them though.There are cheaper ways to get lens cleaning cloths but the micro fibre and attached pouch make this a great choice for travelling with.

Saves me blowing my nose on my lens cloth
Been going to buy one of these for a while. I do a lot of landscape photography and when I am out in the wilds I need a lens cloth very handy. Up till now it was kept in my pocket, but sometimes I mistook it for a hanky and blew my nose on it, which is not a good idea. This overcomes all the problems, it hangs on my rucksack strap on my chest and I know where it is. One improvement they could make is to put a retractable cord onto it, one that will pull out and then auto back to the plastic hook. This would save me detaching from the strap or taking the rucksack off. Still a great product and at a great Amazon price. Thanks.

My new best friend
For those of you who wear spectacles, you probably notice the opticians cleaning/polishing the spectacles before they hand it to you. They use a special lens cloth which removes all smudges and marks etc. This Spudz Lens cloth has the same cloth. It has the prerequisite 18% grey colour for exposure compensation.The pouch is velvety and is ridiculously small - may be 3cm by 5cm (only an estimate). The cloth is sewed in place and then is folded to fit inside the pouch, so you'll have to unfold/refold it each time.On its own, it's okay but I find it best to clean the lens with a lenspen brush Lenspen LP-1 Original to get rid of specks of dust, clean with a microfibre cloth to get rid of grease, and then polish with this cloth.

Good for cleaning camera lenses
I bought this cloth as part of my camera lens cleaning equipment and it works very well. Small smudges on the lens or filter can be just wiped away. Slightly more stubborn marks usually come away if you gently breath on the glass then wipe away.I also have a lens cleaning pen which is quite good but can leave a slight residue behind. The micro cloth gets rid of the residue completely, leaving a perfectly clean lens. The only improvement I would like to see on this product is a way of closing the pouch completely so that muck can't get onto the cloth when it's being carried around.In short, an essential item for any camera bag.
