Thx masp! I'll likely blog it tomorrow so if you edit today it'll be fresh
Wow I'm hearing lots of anti-ken lately, but I have to admit that the $4.19 cent ear syringe does look like it would do the same job as my 12 dollar blower. Can't possibly know if it's identical in performance but I gotta say, it's also giving me a chuckle...ear syringe

The lens pen seems pretty durable for sure. The lens cleaning nib thing looks like it would take a long long time to wear out and turning the cap a bit after each use is supposed to refresh the nib thing. The brush thing is cool cuz it retracts into the pen after use. You can just shake the bristles on something to get rid of the dust you remove. I've only been using it a short while so I can't talk long term but so far seems like a good product.

Light meters for normal (non multiple lights) outdoor use are rarely needed anymore IMO. Looking at the exposure on screen plus the use of the histogram is plenty.
