Static Brushes

Justin Low · 06-09-2005

On a whim, I bid for and won this item on eBay.

Does anyone use a device like this? Does it actually work in reducing static and dust?

If that is for reducing the static on negs.. Wont the dust and other particals getting caught in the brushes scratch the neg?

Apparently the fan on the back of the unit draws away the dust.

Good point though. I should be getting it week after next I believe.

Might be alright then

I guess you wont know till you get the deive and give it a shot on some negs

My brother has one (but a different brand) and loves it; they are really hard to find on Ebay, though, and usually go for a lot of money (at least 100 Euros) here.

The risk of scratching is close to zero because the grit is not pressed against the film.

That's good to hear.

Dear Justin,

Happy to set your mind at rest. Incidentally, that's not just theory. I've been using Kinetronics for years, no worries.

Cheers,

Roger
