First dust on the sensor
After more then a year I discovered the first spec of dust on the sensor of my K20D. My old *ist-DS needed a brush with the arctic butterfly allmost every 6 months and it would have quite a lot of dust on it. On my K20D which sees more lens changes it was only a single spec... A single sweep wit...

Pentax KM rocks (literally)
Get well soon VJ, sorry to hear about your misshap. The fact that the K-m survived says something about the build! As a side, you probably get better shots with your lenses because they're not optimised for the larger sensor on the K20d. I use manual lenses on my K200d (which has the same sens...

Pentax KM rocks (literally)
Are some Pentax APS sensors really larger than others? I assumed they are all of equal size :? They're the same physical size but they have different pixel counts (so the individual pixels on the 6MP sensor are larger than those on the 14MP sensor) I'm not suprised the Km gave great results as i...

If it's just loose dust you've got, I could give it a pass or 2 with my artic butterfly. I'm sure some of the stores in Cardiff would clean it for you, not aware of their prices though.

I had a quote from my local camera shop for professional sensor cleaning and it was £50!

Professional sensor cleaning is not necessarily performed by professionals. :wink:

My sister's son told her that if she tried to clean a DSLR sensor she would ruin it. Has to be cleaned by a shop. When I was giving her my old IstD, in intentionally left some dust on the sensor. I showed her how to check, then I cleaned the sensor with fluid and wipes. When I finished she said, "Th...

I do my own with swabs and fluid. You just need a steady hand, the ability not to breathe for the duration and the balls to do it in the first place for the first time. Paul :) :lol::lol:

Dust had become an issue I could no longer ignore - the blower didn't shift it any more (it used to), and something had to be done, as you can see from . I bought an Arctic Butterfly 724 on the strength of comments from people here, but it was intensely disappointing; it didn't shift anything. ...

I've recently discovered a ton of crap on my sensor :( I had no idea it was there until I got a macro lens and started shooting some longish exposures at small apertures. After seeing ChrisA's post I'm looking at the Eclipse E2 stuff. What swab/wipe should I be using? Some of them seem to be aro...

Chris, can i ask how long you had left cleaning,to build up such deposits please ? Well, it happened over a pretty short space of time. Previously, there'd been the occasional few bits of, presumably, dust, and the Rocket Blower would shift them easily. Then, seemingly over just a few short weeks,...
