Intemos Announces New Way To Help Eliminate Dust From SLR Cameras and Lenses

StikCap?, a unique product that helps eliminate dust from camera lenses and camera bodies, is launched today by IMS. A disc of specially formulated sticky micro-weave fabric, StikCap is designed to fit inside front and rear lens caps to extract any dust as they are moved about. StikCap is also designed to be used inside body caps to extract dust from the chamber and sensor areas of both traditional film and digital SLR cameras. StikCap lasts for approximately three months and is easy to remove and replace.

"This is our latest product in our war on dust," said IMS managing director Andrew Stagg. "We have developed a number of successful applications for removing dust after it has got into cameras and lenses, but StikCap provides the first line of defense in helping to stop dust become a problem in the first place. Cameras get shaken around when you carry them on foot, in the car or anywhere. But, by placing a StikCap in lens and body caps, the dust is shaken onto the disc where it stays ? permanently."

StikCap? is available world-wide from the IMS website at a cost of £6.95 in the UK, .95 in the US and ?12.95 in Europe for a set of five. This will give dust protection for two lenses and one body cap. A larger pack (of ten) is available for £12.95, .95, ?23.95, which will protect five lenses or two bodies and four lenses.
