Cleaning sensor Kx
Price of the Arctic Butterfly is well over the top. I suppose it lasts a long time and is reusable. However, you can buy wet sensor wipes on E-Bay cheaply. They are on a flexible stem so that you dont accidently place too much pressure on the sensor. They are pre soaked in Iso Alcohol. Rocket bl...

Cleaning sensor Kx
Hi, I had my K-10D sensor filled with dirt. I opted for the wet cleaning method with swab and solution. Bought it from e-bay for about £ 17 and cleaned the sensor myself. The sensor now is unbelievably clean. Not a trace of dirt. I had used about 5 swabs, so much was the amount of dirt. If t...

Cleaning sensor Kx
I bought a new KX, attached the kit lens and after a month or two noticed loads of dust spots on the sensor. This was incredibly frustrating as I'd never detached the lens - I couldn't understand how this much dust could suddenly appear. I bought a generic air 'bulb' and spent ages blowing the ...

Cleaning sensor Kx
I have to do something about this soon, last time I tried the camera refused to lift the mirror because it felt that the battery level was too low, even though they were almost new at the time. I will have a look around for rechargeables I think, having seen the cost of the AC Adapter.

How to check K-5 for usual defects?
Hi, people! I'just bought brand new K-5 last weekend... How can I check this lovely camera for the usual defects one needs to check for? You know, sensor stain, mirror flop, and whatnot... I have 18-55mm WR and 50mm f/1.7 M lenses... Also, how much did new firmware help with autofocus and stuff? Ma...

How to check K-5 for usual defects?
Well, yes, but... I have 7 days during which I can ask for replacement from the seller, IN CASE there are stuff like sensor stains, and other of the reported (true, earlier products) defects in K-5... So, I don't want to hope it is all good just to discover it ain't, and then have to send it to peo...

How to check K-5 for usual defects?
Find a blank wall, set it to F22 and take a shot with the flash up to check your sensor is clean as a whistle. Mine is back in at Johnsons yet again. The lens release button having fallen off, I'd noticed some tiny black specks on the edges and asked them to clean the CCD at the same time. It ret...

How to check K-5 for usual defects?
Yep, legitimate retailer, got receipt and the warranty slip (+ extended warranty)... Not hell bent on finding anything... But, hell bent on finding anything that IS there... Stuff like sensor stain ain't really a problem in most cases, but it can be if one shoots uniform surfaces (shape and colour ...

How to check K-5 for usual defects?
I know how you feel. You pay a lot of money and you want it perfect. When there is a fault, you really get down. Unfortunately these faults only arise with time, and sometimes no faults arise at all. You can only take lots of photos in the early days, and scrutinise these carefully as to the operati...

Faulty lens or ...?
Hi guys, 3 months ago I have purchased Tamron 17-50. initially the lens performed quite well but today out of a sudden a odd artifact appeared.Besides, lens lost its focus and most pics from today are quite a bit out of focus. I am walking along countryside trails a lot and wanted to compare pics...

Faulty lens or ...?
Do you mean this: ?? If so, and if it's in the same place in every image, it's almost certainly muck on the sensor that you haven't seen before. It would be very helpful if, rather than describing where you're talking about in words that are doubtless clear to you, you make it complete...

Faulty lens or ...?
@ChrisA: yes, agreed. I was going to provide an image with circle that would indicate where the issue is. I had some issues with laptop/software yesterday and were not able to complete this task. Thank you for providing the image. That's exactly the spot I am referring to. I have taken lots of pis ...

Faulty lens or ...?
Well done Chris for finding it. I can't see it at all on my reductions. It would be unusual for dust inside a lens to cause something like that. Something on a filter in front of a lens might but then it would only normally show up on a wide angle shot where the depth of field is large. Could it ...

Faulty lens or ...?
Hence why I am so puzzled right now. Would dust particle in the lens cause such issue at smaller aperture only? Or, is it down to sensor (if so, is it faulty?) Please advise Well it looks like muck on the sensor to me, and yes, it does tend to be a lot more obvious at small apertures than large one...
