Sensor dirt, DA 12-24, and Kx
Rough and crude upload, no processing done to this picture You'll have to buy....the incredible...."Arctic butterfly!"...:lol: How will that help dirt that gets worse during the day though, when I haven't changed the lens....

You sound as if you're over-cleaning flossie, and a lens pen isn't a sensor cleaner, so that might not be good. Some sample images would be helpful.

Could the over cleaning be causing a build up of static electricity on the sensor and thereby attracting more dust. I change lenses almost 2 to 3 times a day and only clean my sensor every couple of months.:shock: but I do use a rocket blower and the Arctic butterfly.

Dare I suggest that may be there is dust within the camera and this is being dislodged during the shooting day. I find it hard to believe that the seal is not adequately dust proof. My 12-24 seems fine I have not used it on your body but I have on the K7,K20 and an ist and have had nothing more than...

I wouldn't go anywhere near a sensor with a lens pen, and the time I used one on a lens I was disappointed.

yes it wasn't an ideal tool - but it was all I had available (apart from a blower, which did nothing even by eye). It worked though... don't forget I had two days with no dirt when I changed lens... John - see pic linked in post next to yours.

The crud on that photo you linked to looks more like dirt on the lens than on the sensor tbh. Sensor dirt tends to show up as soft, annoying, blotches. Please don't use a lens pen on your sensor any more. Either invest in an Arctic Butterfly or have it cleaned professionally occasionally. I h...

The shot posted above was at F 22 on a tripod - here is a handheld one at a more normal taken a little earlier that day (again, no processing or editing on this upload, pic chosen at random to include a lot of sky). Notice not only are the blobs more fuzzy, but there are a LOT less on them. (sligh...

You will probably find you are not actually removing the dirt from the sensor,just moving it around......plus using the lens pen,with which you will have cleaned your lens ,could introduce grease to the problem!...The butterfly is the answer!....good luck! Ken

Lets just say, I'm now horribly familiar with the Clone/Heal tool in Lightroom........ !... !!!...!!!!!! A tip for next time it happens. You can save the action of cleaning the dirt and apply it to all photos after it if off course the dirt doesn't move around.

cokin/kood filter systems?
I've now got a few lenses and find that I'm somehow quite sick of buying and carrying different sized filters for each lens, so I'm thinking about changing to a cokin P or kood filter system, as it sounds like the filters are all interchangeable, and all the bits I'll need is specific ring size hold...

Interesting. It could be dirt on the sensor, if the dirt is reflective it might manifest itself in this way, if a little unusual. Otherwise it might be a 'hot' pixel or maybe a damaged/faulty sensor. Have you tried cleaning it?

Its the age old issue of worth the repair? Spend £250ish quid on trying to repair something worth £400? Or use the £250 towards something new with full warranty? Do the repair and something else fails down the line and its money wasted. I have the same quandry with my K10D .. its immaculate a...

I have the same quandry with my K10D .. its immaculate apart from the memory card door that wont stay shut, the AE-L button that is stuck, the scratched sensor and the dodgy flash. I have been thinking about getting it converted to IR but if I got it all done then I just just know something like ...

Random long shot, here (I concede I have no experience of the GX20/K20D or its sensor), but is this basically a "stuck pixel" issue? If so, when Philstaff gets the Samsung back, is it perhaps worth trying some of the (allegedly folklore) tricks cited on Wikipedia to try and 'unstick' the pixel(s)...

Note, that Wiki page relates to LCD screens (as in computer monitors and the like), not camera sensors. Totally different kettle of fish. At least, the bit about stuck pixels does. :roll: Well spotted, Daniel - you are quite right. Dunno whether the techique of colour cycling might still be worth a...

I might be tempted to see whether any 'adjustment' of the sensor (i.e. a bit light pressure) made any difference at all... but of course, it comes with risks, obviously. Don't forget the sensor is covered anyway, so you can't apply a bit of pressure to it in the way you envisage. Also, it's not ma...

You're assuming I envisage it the way you envisage that I envisage it! ;) I'm not thinking LCD screen squeezability here; no moiré fringe pressure/stress patterns, or stuff like that. I was...
