The Secret to LensPen®: Simplicity, Dependability
The LensPen® is such an essential to keeping all kinds of optics ready for maximum performance, you’d think everyone would have at least one. It’s so simple, so effective and so dependable.
Small enough that you can clip it in your pocket or toss it in your bag, LensPen has two easily accessible working ends. Slide out the brush end first and use it to effectively remove all loose dust and dirt from the lens or eyepiece. The retractable brush, made from natural goat hair, is so gentle it can do no damage to the optics, yet it’s so hard-working the dust vanishes.
That still leaves those pesky fingerprints or other grease blemishes on the glass. No problem for LensPen. Just take the cap off the other end and the flexible chamois tip, which matches surface shapes and contours, is ready to work.
That chamois tip, embedded with a carbon compound, is ready to tackle the toughest prints. It’s essentially the same principle that makes the use of newspapers still a popular home remedy for cleaning windows – the same carbon compound is used in printer’s ink. And the cap has a pad of carbon compound to constantly refresh the chamois.
There’s never anything to spray on, nothing to dry out or wear out, nothing to replace, so there’s no “expiration date” to a LensPen. And you can use it with confidence – whether you are in extreme desert heat or arctic cold – knowing that it can do no damage of any kind to your gear or the environment. LensPens are RoHS compliant and meet even California’s rigid Proposition 65 standards. And they sure can do a lot of good for your lenses.
All this and a LensPen costs less than $15!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Finch Stacker from Birdola
Grand Rapids, MI – April 28, 2011 – Birdola Products is introducing two new blends to our popular Stacker cake line; Finch and Beetle. Stackers are round seed cakes for wild birds that stack onto the Stacker Stand feeder’s hanging post.
Finch Stacker is loaded with Nyjer seed, a favorite of all finches and many other small songbirds. The Beetle Stacker features freeze-dried beetle larvae to attract birds that like insects, as well as black oil sunflower seeds, the favorite of the majority of wild bird species. By adding these two new blends to our four existing blends (Multi-Bird, Cardinal, Woodpecker and No-Waste), a user can attract virtually any seed or insect-eating species with one feeder.

The Stacker Stand feeder has a durable, round plastic base, with a perch all around and drainage holes to keep the cakes dry. The post has a small hook at the top to make hanging simple. It is easy to clean and will last for years of use. It is an inexpensive entry to the world of wild bird feeding.
Birdola Products invented the cake-feeding concept for wild birds in 1988, and Birdola continues to be a leader in wildlife feeding innovations with the newest blends for its Stacker cake feeding system.
