Eclipse fluid compatibility

Hi,

After much lurking and browsing, my first post.

Doing a search on all the sensor cleaning discussions I came across a statement by Daniel Bridge here, link that Eclipse fluid is not compatible with a K10D sensor.

Could Daniel or someone please elaborate, as I've just bought some to use on my K200D, what should I be using?

Greg

You should be using E2 with the K200D according to the manufacturer's compatibility chart here:

You need to use Eclipse E2 link
It's because the new sensors have a TIN OXIDE coating or something, the normal eclipse harms that coating so far that I could understand.

Thanks,
Back to the shop tomorrow, at least I haven't used it yet.

Would one not have to be rather vigorous to get the fluid on the sensor?

That went though my mind as I believe that what one is cleaning is actually the glass filter and not the sensor itself, perhaps the liquid can flow behind the glass to the sensor by capillary attraction.

Greg

I think we can assume that the protective glass is made of that.

ps. Stannous oxide = Tin oxide
