Customer Reviews

Shoot film? Make prints? Essential item
The best and most effective tool for getting dust and lint off negatives and slides before they go into the scanner or enlarger. Cleans film without electrostatic charge builup that attracts more airborne particles. I know of nothing else that's even close to equally effective. Dramatically reduces time spent cloning/spotting/retouching. For digital scanner users, greatly reduces post-scan effort in situations where digital dust removal often fails or produces unwanted side effects (on B+W and on Kodachrome).

Pros: Produces negatives/slides that are very close to dust- and lint-free

Cons: Polonium cartridge needs replacing every 3-5 years, and proper disposal requires mailing old cartridge to a qualified disposal facility (free except for the envelope and stamp).

I can't imagine scanning 35mm film without one of these. I REALLY can't imagine wet darkroom printing without one.

Indispensible for scanning slides
After careful observation, this product is amazing at removing dust, particularly loose dust, from the surface of a slide. If you are scanning slides yourself, you need this product. I pass the StaticMaster over both sides of each slide I scan. This product does not remove fingerprints, scratches, or spots caused by something other than dust.

Static-Master Brush good to clean lenses/slides
This is to replace a former identical item which I lost. It works very well to remove dust from camera lenses and slides. The radioactive insert must be replaced occasionally. Previously the company sent me a reminder card at the appropriate time, and I could send for the replacement part. Now they suggest that I go to a camera store to get the replacement insert. I prefer the previous plan.
