As said before, a rocket-blower has worked perfectly well for me since the K20D Wet swab wipes over sensors was common on *ist-D CCD etc, but no longer!

Same here, I haven't used anything more then a rocket blower and occasionally a Arctic Butterfly which is also a great tool.

is it time this topic was de-stickied? My K-5 had no issues and still doesn't. It's packed and ready to tackle Goodwood Revival tomorrow, along with the K-3.

I hadn't noticed the Sticky was in place. It's gone now.
