The "Aussie tech tax" made the news recently, I believe I also heard something about NZ voicing the same complaints: GST has increased to 15% on imports over $500... At least having the US$ in the toilet has balanced it up a bit :)

Liking the avatar Transit! :D ------------------ Me too! Just spotted "The Yes Album". Used to watch them regularly about the time that was released! "Yours Is No Disgrace" what a track - went a bit daft a few albums later though! Dave

Hi Please help I am gutted I have purchased a Pentax K5 this week from Warehouse Express and have used the camera for the first time. All my shots have got a blob on them which I think must be a sensor problem because I have used 2 different lenses and the blob appears on all photos. Any of you...

Post a picture, the sensor stain looked more like a row of tiny dots and could only be seen well when zoomed real close in. Your's sounds like a simple dust bunny and unlikely anything to worry about. Like I said post a photo and you will get plenty of helpful replies.

Deffo dust bunny, nothing to worry about. Set the camera so that it shakes the sensor on start then turn it on/off a couple of times. If this doesn't get shot you may need to invest in some kind of cleaner. The arctic butterfly is very good.

Before investing in an Artic Butterfly I'd probably consider a simple rocket blower.

A good number of people here would advise against a rocket blower, because you don't know where the dust is going to end up.

Have to agree. In my experience rocket blowers cause more problems that they solve.

But what happens to the dust the artic butterflies shoots to the sides? Interesting debate, Guess I'll have to look into it.

As I understand it you statically charge the bristles so they attract the dust. Then spin it off when away from the camera.

Just ordered a K5 from SRS - then started researching cleaning kits etc.. 1st thread I came across mentioned problems with the sensor in a small number of units (blobs/smearing!!) - 2 questions: is this still prevalent? and is there a cleaning kit/system in existence which a majority agree on does t...

As far as I'm aware the Staining problem has been resolved now, but that was a manufacturing fault that sensor cleaning could not fix. For general removal of dust I use

The sensor staining issue only affected early production cameras and was resolved over a year ago. Affected cameras were replaced. If you are reasonably careful there is no reason to worry about dust and cleaning kits, just avoid changing lenses in a dust storm! I am pretty sure most users won't ha...

Needed to use a wet cleaning kit twice now and have owned my K-r a year and a bit. I change lenses quite a lot outside but am careful when doing so, it doesn't seem that unusual to have to clean the sensor once in a while. I got my cleaning kit from amazon pretty cheap but does the job fine
