Just ordered mine and looks promising

Thanks Bill

Not great news Bill lets hope it is an isolated incident although that would seem unlikely and unlucky .....I am holding off this model at the moment and looking for the K7 instead for the time being I want to take photos not worry about sensor.
Thanks for that link I think I will take a look

Eclipse is an optic cleaning fluid and has many good things written about it and also videos made it contains Methanol which seems to do the job.

3 drops seems more than sufficient for the sensor so thats about all I can say at this time as I have not used it yet but am confident that with care I will be OK although ,some of the methods used like hairdryers and cotton buds would have some pulling thier hair out
Me I will stick with the safer route

Not surprised your confused I read so much on this subject my head went into a spin took me ages to make the choice and it isnt easy for a novice like myself

Well done but a cotton bud ? you have some bottle and very steady hands I am now equipt with the pec pads and the eclipse fluid ready for that day but with care I hope I will manage to save £50 a go

Well done sir

I read the instructions and folowed the you tube video but made no difference love the thought of someone using it with the motor still running


I do hope your not implying that I have limited capabilities when it comes to following instructions.....Im very good at it as my wife will testify

Hi Gwyn I have one and it just was a let down and certainly failed many times so I actually gave up on it I think its expensive for what (in my case) it fails to deliver so in effect it just didnt work

As far as I know and I am no expert have read a lot on this the Giotto blower which is cheap but works well is the better option ,its only my opinion but I would not use any canned air on any of my cameras atm just the K7 but had 3 in past K 20 K200 and a Km I would not recommend it dust is something we have to in some ways live with and Im really paranoid about it but it still gets in no matter how careful I am my others had a professional clean after a season of work and I used the blower for everything else.... hope this helps its from at least one who has spent a lot on cleaning things from the Artic Buetterfly (dont bother) to the Giottos,been around a while and imho its very good hope this helps

The 200mm arrived a short while ago ,Thanks Jules this is as new wonderful

All the best

David
