The kit has what it takes to clean lenses on most devices that use them: cameras, eye glasses, binoculars and so on.
You get the following:
- 3 (THREE) moist lens cleaning toilettes
- 1 fl. oz spray bottle of liquid lens cleaner
- micro fiber cleaning cloth (black)
As far as I can tell, all of the above are in no significant way better than their generic counterparts you can buy in bulk at any optics store, their only distinguishing characteristic being the Nikon name on the spray bottle and on the moist towelettes packs. By the way, the kit came inside an ordinary cardboard box - not the clear plastic one shown in the picture - and the microfiber cloth was folded inside the box, not inside the dedicated pouch the picture show.
For testing and comparison I used the Nikon products to clean my DSLR and generics to clean the older Mavica that my son is using. I was unable to detect any difference between the Nikon products and the generics - they even smell the same (the towelettes and the cleaning spray).
I will reluctantly award this kit 3 stars (means "it's Okay") because it does what it's supposed to do and I understand that 'branded' items tend to sell for more but, now that I know that there's nothing special about this supposedly dedicated kit, it's unlikely that I will buy another one in the future. And, now that I know that there's nothing special about the included 3 moist towelettes, I know where to get a box of 20 from.

I read the other reviews before buying this. I don't regret the purchase but will not purchase again. I view this package as an introductory package of sorts. If you don't have much to clean, and only need to clean your lens occasionally, then this is probably okay. This package comes with "everything", but there is very little of "everything". Use this to learn, to try what "good enough" cleaning supplies look/feel like. I ended up using different cleaning solutions and cleaning clothes that I bought separately, and a lenspen to get rid of any residual film/haze.

The item was recieved in a damaged box because it was shipped in a soft envelope not in a box. The items was not worth what I paid!

This is an overpriced and disappointing product. It does not even come with a plastic bag to keep it in. The box is thin cardboard that will soon be useless. The result will be that the cleaning cloth will soon pick up grit and lint. It comes with nice one-use premoistened lens cleaning cloths, but there are only three of them! They will be great for emergency field use, but 3 will not last very long. The spray cleaner works well, but it has a large apray pattern. The result is that you end up spraying your camera in addition to the lens. All in all, a disappointment. Nikon almost always does things well, but they missed the boat on this one.

This cleaner and cloth works great. Made the glass crystal clear. I'll buy it again when I run out.
