Sensor Cleaning...
I've seen several posts relating to similar questions - but does not answer my particular question, so hopefully someone can help / advise.
I've got quite a number of 'welded' dust spots on my sensor (D50) and I have had a look at the different ways of cleaning the sensor and the one that appeals to me the most is Dust-Aid. I have tried a blower and there is no movement at all and it is starting to show at (just) at 5.6. My question is... Does dust-aid remove welded on dust? or is it designed to just clear loose particules? I don't want ot have to use up ½ a packet to clear these (especially when in the UK it is £30 ($60) + p&p). Or should I be braver and use the paddle method?  Thanks in advance. Ellis. __________________

Re: Sensor Cleaning...
be bold, son!
I've used the Copperhill method on a $7000 camera the past couple of years with no issues at all. Copper Hill Images - CCD/CMOS Cleaning Tutorial - Introduction |

Re: Sensor Cleaning...
Oh yes, I've been through this on mine.
Nerve wrecking to say the least! But I'm way more confident now and I fear no dust bunnies anymore! I use Eclips sensor cleaning solution, and their accompanying pec pad swab wand. Now it's as clean as my bank account...!  |
