Shipping Costs:
Great product - used them for years. My local supplier doesn't have them any more so I thought I order through Amazon from Adorama Camera. But... $26 - fine. $7 shipping? I don't think so!
No noticeable difference:
I used a new Static-Master brush for cleaning slides prior to scanning. 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. Definitely not worth the extra cost for StaticMaster. 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. The latter was a far greater problem... more info
A classic still being made:
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).
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.
