The staticmaster is a camelhair brush that reduces static with an ionizing source (radioactive Polonium). I also have a Decca brush (electrically-conductive carbon fibers, used to clean records) that should work on film. Reasonably-priced loupes came from Mamiya, but may now be discontinued. Mine is 5x for 135 format, delivers edge-to-edge sharpness, and has clear/opaque skirts.
This shot is neither recent, nor mine. It was a shot that my Dad took many moons ago.
Unfortunately, my Dad passed away this summer, so I don't know much about the shot except that it was taken somewhere in Quebec (either Jonquier or Chicoutimi), possibly with the Minolta he had at the time, but also equally possible was with the Hasselblad he had back then. This particular example was printed to Ilfachrome a few months later, after he was hired by Ilford. This was one of a few examples he would use to sell Ilford's film. And with examples like this...he was pretty good at doing that.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of that Department store - Some of you older Canucks here might recognize the logo... along with the Tilden truck.

Ooops... I forgot to photoshop out the white area from the scan.
