Sensor cleaning

I know, it's a sad state of affairs, but it is going to have to wait!

on closer examination of a blower's construction, I am now theorising about a rubber duck with a thin straw duck taped to it's air hole...

Air enters and leaves the duck through that hole. Blocking it with a long straw will allow it to do neither, setting up a vacuum.

One deformed duck and one deformed straw........ :D

Hi Everyone,

I must say I'm really pleased that everyone’s chipped in with their advice and experiences, I must admit that I was half expecting 2 or 3 replies saying "Use the search function...". Anyway I've now narrowed it down to exactly what I'm buying...

  1. Giottos CL2810 Q.Ball Air-Blower
  2. Eclipse Lens and CCD Cleaning Fluid (59ml)
  3. PEC-PADs 10x10cm (100 Sheets)

I'm fairly confident that I can do it, especially after watching some YouTube videos.

Not sure what to use as an applicator though, any suggestions for a product that isn't a spatula lol.

Thanks again,

Tom.

Good old Wilko's hardware do a set of 3 small kitchen spatular's that just need trimming to fit whatever size sensor you Are cleaning & cost about 59p = Job done

Just had my first go at wet and dry sensor cleaning.

Used the arctic butterfly 724 and 7x sensor loupe to get rid of the dust.

Then used the wet swabs to clean it, i must have had an oil spot or something as it smeared really badly and i couldn't get rid of it. Phoned up LCE for some advice and they said get a sensor pen that should sort it. Took the camera with me so they could see it.

Got a sensor pen and five min's later nice clean smear free sensor.

Sorted
