It may not be possible to be sure with the naked eye that there is no residue at all, but the LED light does enable me to see residue that is so slight that it is invisible under bright sunlight.

It's quite alarming to look at filters that you think are clean with one. It was enough to make me give up using UV filters as protection.

I doubt the reputable Lens Pen company (maker of the SensorKlear pen) would recommend breathing on the sensor if it did any harm.

I dont like the thought of fliuds on a sensor!..and the cost of sending it to Pentax would be what for cleaning.....£40?....plus return postage and insurance!.....it makes the cost of the basic arctic butterfly a very cheap option, also it can be used time and time again with no chance of smears or smudges,I say again it's the only tool for me...........Ken
Arctic Butterfly is no good for stuck-on particles, then either a liquid or a more aggressive dry cleaning method is needed.
