K10D focusing screen cleaning

been out all day with my new k10 at an equine event - it was quite dusty at times and i noticed a few specs have got in to the interchangeable focusing screen(didnt take lens off out in the open either) - using a cleaning cloth just made it worse so eventually i just blew most of it off - just a couple of specs left now. I know it does not affect the picture but any advice on how to get these delicate items really clean? in fact any any part of the camera clean as all of the cleaning cloths i bought seem to leave fibres behind :

The first thing is never to use a cleaning cloth on the soft and vulnerable focusing screen....

As far as cloths for cleaning lenses and the camera in general go then the one of choice has to be the Pentax Microfibre Cloth. No bits come off that and it causes no damage.

But definitely don't use anything on the focusing screen or mirror.

Lesson has been learned (the focusing screen is now smudgy)- at least the focusing screens are only £29 a pop and i have not even looked at the sensor yet so thats safe. (just ordered a replacement screen and an image sensor cleaning kit from SRS) I will just use a gentle blower (without brush) from now on and never put a cleaning cloth anywhere near the inside again.

Blowing doesn't always remove everything. The Arctic Butterfly static-charge brush is good for cleaning focusing screens as well as sensors. You can just lightly pass it over.

To John Riley A good place to get pentax microfibre cloths if you say pretty please is Specsavers as they use pentax lenses as standard and give away free cloths when you get new specs. If you get your specs there they will normally give you a couple or so spares if you ask nicely. CHEERS Vic

Thank you for that, Vic. I'm on my way....

Great tip, thanks.

Just to say thanks to SRS Micro for super fast delivery & service
