Something of a bargain - cheap at half the price !

I honestly don't know why anyone bothers with these cheap IR Remotes :shock: Your better off spending a bit more for a HIGH POWER ONE..... :lol: - Yep, you can get a wireless (i.e. radio) version for less than £20 (seen some at £9.99 on Fleabay). The key for me is that they work in any directi...

Banding/ spot

Banding usually occurs because of over-processing in Photoshop etc. That is, unless there's a sensor fault. It would be useful to see an example of an image affected to see what the likely cause is.

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

I doubt that it makes any difference as I'm guessing the sensor will still be protected by the IR blocking filter.

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

An interesting question, that's why I bought an Arctic Butterfly. You don't have to touch anything as it attracts the dust with static and I figure if I keep on top of it by cleaning after every shoot I should stay relatively dust free.

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

I've had my K5 for well over a year now, nearer two years, and it's seen regular use with frequent lens changes. I've never had to clean the sensor yet. I have the sensor cleaning option set, so it gets cleaned of non-sticky contaminants every time it's switched on.

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

I regularly had to clean the sensors of my K10D and K20D. I've had my K-5s for coming up to 2 years and I've never had to clean their sensors. I'm amazed really.

That's great news Smeggy because, like me, you are a serial in the field lens changer. I know because we've had a similar thread in the past. 8)

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

Ahoy! How much would you expect to pay for a pro sensor clean? I happen to use 2 systems (A and K Mounts) and although I normally do my own sensor cleaning as I have both wet and dry kits, I have actually paid for a pro service from Camera Repair Workshop (CRW) who are specialists for multiple f...

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

And another K5 owner who changes lenses a lot and has never had to clean a sensor. I have the "clean at startup" option enabled and it works a treat. And I do run the "detect dust" option. And there never is any.. Paul

Yes, I'm fairly sure that sensor cleaning is not given to the most experienced technician to do...:?:
